While working with Entity Framework v1 during KiGG implementation of Entity Framework repositories, I decided to test KiGG for partial trust environment. Particularly Medium Trust support. Will not go through whether KiGG currently support medium trust or not in it current or upcoming version, but I will go through one of the reasons why KiGG currently might not support medium trust. It is because MY implementation of Entity Framework. Note that I am saying MY, because Entity Framework application can run on medium trust.

This one has cropped up a couple of times in my development activities recently, but with just enough of a gap for me to have forgotten the solution and I had to figure it out again.
