U4-1897 - 'umbraco.GlobalSettings.UseMediumTrust' is obsolete: '"This property is no longer used and will be removed in future versions"

Indeed. :-) Will remove in v7 so we don't break backwards compatibility in a minor/patch release.

hmmm./.. would that break a lot of packages that might be using the flag to code full vs medium trust?

ones that I have especially come across are the use of the System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager, which requires full trust and having to revert to xml manipulation for medium trust.. but if full trust is available then the webConfiguartionManager is the better implementation?

ps the about umbraco button in the admin still fails in medium trust... trying to read the version from the dll :-) not a good advert for mediumtrust safe ;-)

Mike: Maybe, I don't think anybody is using it particularly as they should be reading the key instead.

Ah, really? I never click that one.. ;-) Make sure to create another issue for the About button please. :)

reading the trust key, from the web.config?

if you mean the trust key in the web.config then that could be problematic... for rackspace cloud for instance there is no trust key as they set at the application config level... and including a trust node causes an error as they expressively forbid it.

Ah, well, I was wrong on that one :-)

Here's how to do it properly:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1064274/get-current-asp-net-trust-level-programmatically

not disimilar to the old method in obsolete globalSettings.cs :-) just lifted that into my own class library.

public static bool UseMediumTrust { get { try { var trustLevel = SystemUtilities.GetCurrentTrustLevel(); if (trustLevel == AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.High || trustLevel == AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Unrestricted) return false; else return bool.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["umbracoUseMediumTrust"]); } catch { return false; } } }

we have this in the core:

Umbraco.Core.SystemUtilities.GetCurrentTrustLevel()

to get the current trust level which works in med trust.

V7 is a very nice chance to clean up the code.
