@wudzik this question is regarding VS2008 or VS2010, but I was not able to resolve the problem in VS2012 because it does not contain the check box named "Allow unsafe code". – Shilpa Soni Jul 15 '13 at 09:09

@ShilpaSoni I have VS 2012 and did what's [explained on that link](http://stackoverflow.com/a/6771861/1169228). I can see the CheckBox just fine. – Nolonar Jul 15 '13 at 09:11

@SriramSakthivel I just got the solution, Actually I was looking that option (Allow unsafe code) in website's properties. Now when I saw in project's properties I found the check box and my error got resolved. – Shilpa Soni Jul 15 '13 at 09:23

Right click on your project. Select "Properties". Switch to the "Build" tab. Check "Allow unsafe code".

I'm sitting right in front of it. My version does have it. Maybe your version does not allow unsafe code or you need to reinstall. – nvoigt Jul 15 '13 at 09:14

1@ShilpaSoni You should accept an answer; they both basically tell you to open the `Project > Properties`, which is how you solved your problem "by yourself". – Nolonar Jul 15 '13 at 14:06

Open project properties, select Build tab and click on Allow unsafe code.
