WSS Tip

We wanted to have a webpart in a WSS site to stream the contents of a file out. This is so a custom website header webpart could be produced but have the content modifyable.

The problem comes as the webpart has no access to anything as you would expect. A quick work-around for an intranet is to lower the trust level on the WSS site, i.e. in the web.config file under

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <trust level="Full"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

This way the web part is allowed to open up external files and read them. I wouldn't recommend this for internet sites however.
