Failed to start monitoring changes on global.asax .net 3.5 Web service using Impersonation
I am trying to use impersonation in a an asp.net 3.5 webservice. However whenever I try to run the service with Impersonation enabled (In web.config) I am receiving the following error in my Windows Event log:
Exception message: Failed to start monitoring changes to 'C:\1work\temp\NotificationWatcherWebServiceClean2010\NotificationWatcherWebService\NotificationWatcherWebService\global.asax'
I initially didn't even have a global.asax so I tried adding 1 and adding explicit permissions for the user I'm trying to impersonate.
I am using the following environment.
Visual Studio 2010
Windows 7 64-bit
.Net Framework 3.5
Any ideas?
Answer
I've seen this issue each time I get a new box, or have mine reimaged. What I have to do is grant the account that is being impersonated (assuming it's a single account, otherwise you may need to grant a group of users) access to key folders.
Specifically C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files but also you might try c:\windows\temp and your own user temp folder located at C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Temp.
