I have a SharePoint WebPart project in visual studio. As part of the project I am referencing the interop.ActiveDS.dll.
I can compile the project successfully and add/deploy the solution to SharePoint. When I try to run the WebPart in SharePoint I get the error:
That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.
[SecurityException: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.]

I have added [assembly: System.Security.AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] to the assemblyinfo.cs file but this has not helped.
Would appreciate any answers for this!

The problem is that Interop.ActiveDs.dll does not allow partially trusted callers. Your best bet is to deploy a signed interop assembly to the GAC:
