Set the # of control?

g2000 · November 4th, 2005, 05:53 PM

The number of control is a variable depending on the user priviledge.

Is that possible to set via Page_Load()?

I have a menu with 5 items. Some people have 3 or 4 or 5. Each menu
has sub menu. The number of sub menu items is also depending on the user login.

This pretty much depends on your implementation and your wishes.

Probably the easiest thing to do is wrap your controls into a LoginView control. Inside that control, define a RoleGroups element with a couple of RoleGroup element, each holding the controls for that group. E.g.:

Code:

<asp:LoginView ID="LoginView1" runat="server">
  <RoleGroups>
    <asp:RoleGroup Roles="SomeRole">
    </asp:RoleGroup>
  </RoleGroups>
</asp:LoginView>

There are other ways too, so if this doesn't help, can you provide more details?

Cheers,

Thank you, Imar. I'm glad you point out. as a matter of fact, what is the common strategy for the security stufff?

That's a pretty broad question to answer over a forum post.

Are there any specific areas you have questions about?

Otherwise, take a look here: http://beta.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/default.aspx (currently down) and look under "Securing Your Application" and "Login Controls".
