ADO.Net Data Services Not Running in Medium Trust - web-config

I am trying to build a proof-of-concept on ADO.Net data services for my team, but I seem to be running into issues with my web server's medium trust settings. The data service is simple, just exposing a few tables as an example, and I am not using any service operations. Also, the service is the only endpoint in my project; I am not running any other services or pages from this project.
If I set in the web.config, the example works on my local machine (this would not be allowed on my web server), but when , the following exception is thrown before the first line of InitializeService is called.
SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationPermission, System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' failed.]
System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet) +0
System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand() +58
System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.CheckPermissionAllowed(String configKey, Boolean requirePermission, Boolean isTrustedWithoutAptca) +99
Can ADO.Net Data Services (.Net 3.5 SP1) not run under medium trust? I have not customized this application at all, and it does not reference any assemblies but the ones that are added by default when you create a data service. The contents of my web.config (since that is where I expect the problem lies) are below.

I remember this being a bug in cassini in .Net framework SP1. The workaround is to host your service in IIS. If i am not wrong, they have fixed this in .Net framework 4.0, but i am not sure since i haven't tried it myself.

Hope this helps.

Why is Migrations looking for Sql Server Provider?

Here is my config...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DataContext" connectionString="Server=localhost;Port=5432;Database=myDatabase;User Id=postgres;Password=password;Preload Reader = true;" providerName="Npgsql" />
</connectionStrings>
<entityFramework>
<providers>
<provider invariantName="Npgsql" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlServices, Npgsql.EntityFramework" />
</providers>
</entityFramework>
</configuration>
When I run update-database it gives at the end of the stack trace...
No Entity Framework provider found for the ADO.NET provider with
invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient'. Make sure the provider is
registered in the 'entityFramework' section of the application config
file. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more
information.
Another error I'm running into when I add to the entityFramework section..
<defaultConnectionFactory type="Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql" />
Failed to set Database.DefaultConnectionFactory to an instance of the
'Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql' type as specified in the application
configuration.
What am I missing?
You could try using a DbProvidersFactories instead of the connection string:
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="Npgsql" />
<add name="Npgsql Data Provider" invariant="Npgsql" support="FF" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for Postgresql" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql" />
</DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>
I got this working by adding Entityframework, Npgsql and Npgsql.Entityframework as three individual installs using Nuget. Then the following config...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />

</connectionStrings>

<providers>
<provider invariantName="Npgsql" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlServices, Npgsql.EntityFramework"></provider>
</providers>

<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories>
<remove invariant="Npgsql" />
<add name="Npgsql Data Provider" invariant="Npgsql" support="FF" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for Postgresql" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql" />

How to tell if using EF5

Am taking a Silverlight / WCF RIA Service project from EF4 to EF5. Target is .NET4.5
Here is a spike - am using a DB First approach. ie create edmx, then use the Domain Services Classes Wizard
So looking good so far as have
EntityFramework (5.0.0.0)
Microsoft.ServiceModel.DomainServices.EntityFramework (4.0.0.0) DbDomainService in here
System.Data.Entity (4.0.0.0)
as opposed to old way of:
EntityFramework (5.0.0.0)
System.Data.Entity (4.0.0.0)
System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.EntityFramework (4.0.0.0) LinqToEntitiesDomainService in here
then have put a simple UI on to access the 2 table db and it worked

Got these bits of config from the following. Perhaps they are all codefirst specific.
https://github.com/jeffhandley/riabooks
http://jeffhandley.com/archive/2012/12/10/RIA-Services-NuGet-Package-Updates-ndash-Including-Support-for-EntityFramework.aspx
http://mcasamento.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/entity-framework-5-code-first-and-wcf.html
The RIA Services dll is compiled against EF 4, not EF5, so the binding Redirect is used to make everything work. If/when RIA Services is open sourced there will be a new release of RiaServices.EntityFramework that will be compiled against EF 5 and EF 6. One of the benefits of open source will be the ability to put out as many NuGet packages as I want to support all combinations.

<compilation debug="true"/> I m getting this error in my web site

Please tell me whats wrong and what is the solution

elmah on iis6 and 7.5 mvc2

I am trying to get elmah working on a remote web server and my local iis 7.5 server. The remote server is iis 6. Elmah works the visual studio 2010 development server. When you browse to a aspx page that doesn't exist, it logs it and shows it in the log. When I test the application on iis 6 and iis 7.5 I can get to the elmah log page but it never logs anything. I am using mvc 2. I should also mention that I downloaded the nerddinner demo which also works on the development server but gives me the exact same results on iis 7.5.
Below is my web.config:

I have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now and am ready to move on to something else... fyi I also added the custom attributes from nerd dinner to my controllers.
Ahh.. sigh I love posting things on here, I always figure out my own answers...
After doing some more searching, I am assuming it has to do with file creating permissions although I didn't verify this just assuming. I switched to store it on a sql server and it works great!...
So if you are trying to do xml logging, make sure your host provider lets you have file creation priviledges.
