So when I add new users to the system, it works just fine. Saves them to the database, displays them in the custom gridview.

So next I go to Roles to create a new role to assign the newly added users to.

However, NONE of the new users show up in the select listbox. this box still maintains the users that were there before. the only way to get the newly added users is to exit the program, rebuild the solution, and then relaunch the program.

That can't be right so clearly I'm missing something. Anyone wanna take a stab?

Most likely it's because the user list is cached (or in the ViewState). I may have missed it, but I didn't see anywhere in the code where Vince flushed the cache or the ViewState (it's been a couple months since I looked at it though).

I know I experienced a similar issue, and wound up writing some code to clear the cache and/or ViewState.

Anyway, sorry for the vague answer - but I'd look at Cache and ViewState. You may need to write some code yourself to handle the issue.

Yes it is cached in Globals class under “App_Code” folder of web project.
To work around it we need to invalidate the cache and load the data again from DB.
To work around this I call Globals.LoadXXX(Page.Cache) methods.
These methods exatelly do the same.
On save of user I call
Globals.LoadUsers(Page.Cache);
After Saving it.

On save of role I call
Globals.LoadRoles(Page.Cache);
After Saving it.

But when I logged in from newly created user in to system. The menu tab and tree are not rendered at all only for newly created user for old users it works fine. I need to restart the web server (IIS) to make it work. no idea why its hapening. Did you solve your problem? Or any one tried to solve it? Please share your findings.

thanks,
