.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Building Controls / June 2006Asp.net2 Menu control dynamic display based on User Role!!!Help please!!!
Hi I want to create a horizontal menu on my website being built using asp.net2 with menu items based on the "role" of the user who logged into the system.Role iformation will be read from database... For ex: for a user with "Admin" role, i would like to show "Menu Item1", "Menu Item2", "Menu Item3", "Menu Item4". Where as if the user belongs to "Help-desk" role, i would like to show only "Menu Item1" and "Menu Item3"... Also, i want to provide an alternative to access "Menu Items" if the java-script is disabled... Wondering what options do i got.... Thanks Sri You could provide altername web.sitemaps files for each role, then configure multiple XmlSiteMapProviders in web.config, then dynamically assign the ProviderName property to the SiteMapDataSource based upon the role. -Brock http://staff.develop.com/ballen > Hi > I want to create a horizontal menu on my website being built using [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Sri > *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** hi i hope i understand your problem. for each type of role, you would like to show a specific menu. ok, try this <siteMapNode url="gohere.aspx" title="You are here" description="You cannot see me" roles ="Admin" /> as you can see, you can add the role that is allow to see the menu. only users with the role admin will be able to see the menu"you are here" happy programming!!!
