I have create a Silverlight Navigation Page. Here I implement a ASP.Membership Login with DevForce.

 

Here I've to questions/problems.

 

1. How can I check with DevForce for Silverlight username, role in my HomeViewModel for example.

 

2. I need to create, change/update user account as admin. How can I get all users, roles for users and can update a profile for example??

 

Is there anyone, who can help me? Do someone have samplecode?

 

Regards

Dirk

Hi Dirk,

 

The current user is available from the Entitymanager.Principal property.  This returns a UserBase from which you can call UserBase.Roles or UserBase.IsInRole().

 

For user administration, I believe you just use the Microsoft ASP.NET Security API and tools.

 

Our documentation for this is in Learning Resources -> Security, and there are three code samples there as well that you can take a look at.

 

 

thank you, for your information. It was the information, to create a login.

 

But I've build a standard SL navigation application. Here I've implement DevForce Silverlight to create a login with DevForce Silverlight and ASP.NET Membership and handle my dataoperations.

 

On my main page I use a EntityManager.Principal property. It works fine to return a UserBase information like IsAuthenticed or username for example in my main page. The navigation menu to show a navigation page can be restrickted as expected.

 

But how can I route EntityManager.Principal property  to check user IsInRole() to my navigationpage?

 

Here I will create a Dashboard, here I need to check user roles to enable/disable buttons and other xaml elements for example.

 

When I try to set in main page datacontext => this.ContentFrame.DataContext = user after Login, in my navigation page are no user context is routed.
