SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You expose events for scripting by declaring a public interface that is Component Object Model (COM) visible. You invoke a delegate that has been granted full trust through policy. When you host a Microsoft .NET Windows Forms control in a browser window on a computer that has the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed, you receive a security exception error message that is similar to the following:

Exception: System.Security.SecurityException _message: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, … failed



CAUSE
This problem occurs because of the additional delegate security features that are installed by the .NET Framework 1.0 SP3. This problem does not occur on a computer that has an earlier version of the .NET Framework 1.0 installed.
