Full Trust

Note: Applications created with Code On Time generator that have reporting enabled will add a line in the web.config file of your project that requires full trust on the server. This will ensure high performance when generating reports. If you do not permit full trust to the application, then you will encounter an error stating “That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers”. To disable the requirement for full trust, open the Project Wizard and switch to the Web Server page. Paste the following into the Web.Config modification instructions.

Delete: /configuration/system.web/trust
<nothing/>

Then proceed to regenerate and redeploy the app.
