Getting a simple function to run in the CLR . Please help :-(

Hi everyone,
If anyone can help me with the following, I would be very greatful.
I want to create a pretty basic function under sql server 2005's runtime.
I've made the assembly and attached it. And when I do something totally simp
le
like return a simple string it works fine. However when I try and use a conn
ection
object I get an exception as follows:
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine
or aggregate 'GetRolesString':
System.Security.HostProtectionException: Attempted to perform an operation
that was forbidden by the CLR host.
The protected resources (only available with full trust) were: All
The demanded resources were: UI
It seems to be suggesting that everything is protected and so I can't do
anything. That would be fine but I havent a clue how to unprotect them.
The things I've tried are:
1. Making the database property Trustworthy equal to true
2. Marking the Permission_Set for the assembly as EXTERNAL (or whatever it
is)
These things havent helped
A huge thank you to anyone who can tell me how to unprotect me crap :-)
Thanks gain

Using the connection object shouldn't be a problem. The error you're
getting looks like it has something to do with UI, in other words are
you trying to do a Console.WriteLine or something similar?
If you post your code for the method it'll be easier for us to see
what's wrong.Anyway, below follows some code snippets for the
connection:
public static void GetData() {
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Context Connection=true");
conn.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "Select some data from somewhere";
SqlContext.Pipe.ExecuteAndSend(cmd);
}
Notice that in the code above it is not entirely necessary to use the
connection at all, as you are calling ExecuteAndSend on the SqlPipe
class.

It was that I was trying to output to the console when catching an exception
.
Force of habit really, just so I can see what the exception was a bit easier
.
All fixed now.
Sincerest thanks to you and Kent
Kindest Regards
Simon|||Instead of writing to the console, you could trow an cutom error, and that
would be catched by the calling program.

I know I could do it that way. It's realy just during debugging I sometimes
find it helpful. It's not a huge issue but thanks though
Kindest Regards
