Error occurred in deployment step add solution

Question

I am working on a sandboxed solution SharePoint 2010 (SharePoint Online project).

The error I get is

Error   19  Error occurred in deployment step 'Add Solution': This solution contains invalid markup or elements that cannot be deployed as part of a sandboxed solution. Solution manifest for solution 'c353c02e-f7b0-4c58-b7c6-066adf1d7e0c' failed validation, file manifest.xml, line 3, character 4: The element 'Solution' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/' has invalid child element 'CodeAccessSecurity' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/'.

My manifest file (Package.package) in Visual Studio looks like this

If I remove "CodeAccessSecurity" tag from the "Solution" element then the solution is deployed and activated from VS without any issues. I am unable to activate the solution from the web, I tried.

The solution contains one Web Part which uses LINQ to get data from other lists + create a new list item in a list.

I addedd the "CodeAccessSecurity" tag in "Solution" because without it I got an error

The type initializer for 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq.Resources' threw an exception.

I get the above error when the code is tryin to create a new list item.

I am using sandboxed visual web part.

The solution is activated without any issues if I remove "CodeAccessSecurity" child element from "Solution" but I am not able to create a new list item. I am using LINQ to SharePoint to create a new list item

If I don't use the data context to create new list items then the following code works perfectly

 SPList list = objWeb.Lists.TryGetList("ListName");
                        SPListItem newListItem = list.AddItem();
                        newListItem["Department"] = new SPFieldLookupValue(int.Parse(ddlDepartment.SelectedValue), ddlDepartment.SelectedItem.Text);

                        newListItem.Update();

If you have any other ideas please let me know
