    Hi Mohammed,

    Can you share some additional information? The error is very generic except for it being a Security Exception. It would be good if we can pinpoint the location of the issue.

    Also there are various workflow tools (with source code) out there that are already doing the same, which you can re-compile and get it to do the same for CRM 2013.

    Hi Mohammed,

    I have seen this error and usually happens sporadically sometime. If you retry, it should work.

    Could you please check and confirm if it fails every time or intermittently?

    Hi Ravi,

    It is failing every time. the Workflow Activity DLL is registered in the Sandbox.

    -Thanks

    If it is failing every time then there must be something within the code.

    Can you share the code and some more details? Are trying to use any local resource like file etc? Can you change it to isolation 'None' and see if it works?

    It worked with isolation mode none. but the question is.

    1) It is still working fine with isolation mode sandbox in other environments.
