I have added the latest ILS 6.1 source code and project to my solution.

I am compiling this directly and then referencing the compiled DLL as part of my solution.

I am having errors when I set the compile option to any thing other than .NET 2.0.

All my other assemblies that my solution uses are compiled to .NET 4.5

Any ides why this is happening?

This is the error message I get when I run my executable and for the instance ILS 6.1 is compiled to .NET 4.5

1. Solution exception:Inheritance security rules violated while overriding member: 'Infralution.Licensing.Forms.EncryptedLicense.GetObjectData(System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo, System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext)'. Security accessibility of the overriding method must match the security accessibility of the method being overriden.

This is quite a complicated issue. What version of Visual Studio are you using?

Is the code VB.NET or C#?

Are you adding the source code to your own project or have you just added the Infralution.Licensing.Forms project to your solution?

Are you getting a compile time warning or only at runtime?

The problem is coming from the fact that Microsoft have changed the security definition for the ISerializable.GetObject method in the framework. See the following link for more information:

I am able to replicate a runtime error like you are seeing if I compile the Infralution.Licensing.Forms project using VS2012 with .NET 4.5 framework and reference it from another project. If however I include the source files directly in the application project (as described in the help section "Redistributables and Source Code") then the error does not occur. You can also prevent the error occurring when referencing the library by removing the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute from the AssemblyInfo file for the Infralution.Licensing.Forms project.

If you are not including the source code in your own project it is probably better to just reference the Infralution.Licensing.Forms assembly that we distribute. This is signed with our own unique strong name (not the one we distribute with the source). If you are going to compiled the project yourself and use the resultant assembly then you should create and use a new strong name - since the strong name we distribute with the source code is the same for all customers.
