trusting .net projects from a network location tags:  visual studio, .net, help desk

i keep all my source code on hecubus, which means windows workstations running visual studio see that source code as a network location.  i think it knows it’s local intranet, but that group isn’t trusted enough by default to let you do such things as develop a project in visual studio.

for visual studio 2005, there was a .net framework 2.0 configuration control panel under administrative tools.  i think it got installed as part of the .net 2.0 sdk.  i used that to give full trust to local intranet, as my local intranet is just me and my wife.

with visual studio 2008, i don’t have any such control panel, so i have to manually add trust for the location of my .net source code.  that’s done using caspol.exe, found in %windir%\Micrsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\.  it’s a command-line utility, which on windows means it’s difficult to find out how to use it.  i managed to get this sort of command to work:

the 1.2 makes perfect sense, wouldn’t you agree?
