I've been running template/MVC with no issues. Then this week I started receiving an exception when trying to access any compiled view. The site has been in medium trust (default for hosting), but moving to full trust fixed the issue. So I'm unsure if the issue is medium trust or some patch applied to the server that caused this. The host and I are both unsure of what this could be.
I did change my local version (using IIS Express) to <trust level="medium" /> and it ran with no problems, which confuses me more.
__Version (NUGET)__
<package id="RazorGenerator.Mvc" version="1.5.0.0" targetFramework="net40" />
<package id="RazorGenerator.Templating" version="1.5.2.0" targetFramework="net40" />
Any thoughts?

Comments: OK.
Just to make sure I understood the code correctly, that exception would only be thrown if there is a layout set, right? If the layout was null (_masterPath) then the method wouldn't be called and no exception? Would that be accurate? I'm hoping you know off the top of your head, otherwise, I can test it.
```
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(_masterPath))
{
_overriddenLayoutSetter(webViewPage, _masterPath);
}
```
