Hi,

I was able to follow until Chapter 6. When I compile my project, it keeps complaining about NullReferenceException in the following section of the HasAccessToMenu method in ENTMenuItemBO.cs class:

public bool HasAccessToMenu(ENTUserAccountEO userAccount, ENTRoleEOList roles)
{
if (IsAlwaysEnabled)
{
return true;
}
else
{
//Loop through all the roles this user is in. The first time the user has
//access to the menu item then return true. If you get through all the
//roles then the user does not have access to this menu item.
foreach (ENTRoleEO role in roles)
{
//Check if this user is in this role
if (role.RoleUserAccounts.IsUserInRole(userAccount.ID ))

I confirmed that Windows Authentication is turned on and anonimous access is disabled. I also confirmed that userAccount = domain/myusername and my db has the exact same data as the download sql code.

Any help would be appreciaited.

Hi

I have finished ch 6 but i can not view the side menu at all.

Cab you view the side menu when you click on the admin tab?

have you notice in the original code the following lines in the web.config

There is no such catalog PTOpersonalization in the code. And also could you explain me how do you make V2Application work on your machine.
I think this a sort of filter of memeber roles that has something to do with the side menu when an account tries to access the database and then the application.

If you could help it would be much appriciated.

I was able to figure out what's wrong with my code. In the admin page, I forgot to initialize Roles.

Regarding your question, I modified webconfig and db to use my custom-db.
However, when I tried the sample code, it was working with no problem. Only thing I changed was to use windows authentication in the webconfig (not sql authentication).

hi booze,

may i know how do you initialise the Roles in admin page.

I get NullReferenceException error on foreach (ENTRoleBO role in roles)

Anyone, pls advise... stuck in chp 6

skip chp 5 and manage to get chp 6 done.
no more NullReferenceException error
