COM+ Application Libary/Server Activation

I have created a serviced component using VB.NET. I have set the Actication type to Library and create a test application using normal exe. It works..

But when I call it from ASP.NET it fails with the following error :=

Server Error in '/WebApplication1' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Access is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied.

The ASP.NET process is not authorized to access the requested resource. For security reasons the default ASP.NET process identity is '{machinename}\ASPNET', which has limited privileges. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET process identity.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the "{machinename}\ASPNET" user. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the Write box in the Allow column.

I tried changing the Activation to Server and the page works. Why is this happening ? How can I make it work again ? thank you very much..

Basically the answer to your question lies in the statmenent.

The ASP.NET process is not authorized to access the requested resource. For security reasons the default ASP.NET process identity is '{machinename}\ASPNET', which has limited privileges. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET process identity.

When you run the component from a windows application it is running under the user id of the person log on the machine. That person (you) has the rights to run such an application. When you run an asp page the process must run under a user id, but since any user migth be accesing the page the user asigned to the page has limited authority. What you have to do is to assign the proper authority to the dll. Unfortunately, I have not yet reach that chapter on my book.
