Is it possible to grant Full Trust to url within Medium Trust Web site

Question

I'm using Dlls (Cells & PDF) from Aspose and ran into permission issue because the site must be set to Medium Trust while the DLLs requires Full Trust. I have attempted to different method to grant full trust to the DLLs while the site remains in Medium Trust. So far, I've tried the following: Created a separate custom medium trust config file with the code group for

<CodeGroup
   class="UnionCodeGroup"
       version="1"
       PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
       Name="Aspose.PDF_Asp.Net"
       Description="This code group grant full trust to Aspose.PDF">
       <IMembershipCondition
            class="StrongNameMembershipCondition"
            version="1"        
PublicKeyBlob="00240......."/>
</CodeGroup>

I've also tried adding to the web.config under the .Net Framework Config folder under the

<fullTrustAssemblies>
<add
   assemblyName="Aspose.Pdf"
   version="10.6.0.0"
   publicKey="00240000......"
/>

So far, none of these methods worked. So I'm wondering if it's possible to grant full trust to a specific page within the site without using a webservice. If I have a page that I can pass arguments and use that to run under Full Trust then I can mitigate at least this issue of Aspose not working under Medium Trust.

Thanks in advance.

Please try installing the Aspose (Cells and PDF) assemblies in GAC (Global Assembly Cache). If I am not mistaken then installing any assembly in GAC grants it Full Trust permissions automatically and therefore it should resolve your issue.
