[Mono-list] Mono.Data.Sqlite.dll TypeLoadException

[Daniel Hughes]

After digging arround in the source code for Mono.Data.Sqlite it appears
that

SqliteConnectionHandle implements CriticalHandle which has the following
attribute:

[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand,
UnmanagedCode = true)]

This requires that the inheriting class (SqliteConnectionHandle) have the
same or more restrictive permissions. However SqliteConnectionHandle does
not specify any security permissions and so violates the contract.

This does not seem to be a problem when running on mono for linux only .net
for windows. (maybe mono does not implement these security checks)

The upshot of all this is that Mono.Data.Sqlite.dll v4.0.0.0 cannot be used
on .net until a fix is made (adding the SecurityPermissionAttribute).

I am happy to raise a bug and submit a patch (if that's the correct thing
to do) however I can't wait for the fix to be released so will have to ship
a custom build of Mono.Data.Sqlite.dll with a fix applied in Wide Margin
for windows.

Cheers,
Daniel
