My application is raising an unauthorized access error. While running my application, I try to access a directory in the following location: Application.UserAppDataPath.

The Problem: It says I do not have permission to access the Application.UserAppDataPath directory

Is there a way to set permissions within my application source code?

Something like:

Application.UserAppDataPath.SetPermissions()

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
