Question

I am using VS2005 C# ASP.NET.

I have a webform which contains a list of users in a ListBox tool.

I would like to check if the selected user in the ListBox is in a specific role, how can I do it?

Below is my current code:

if (UsersListBox.SelectedItem != null)
        {

            rolesArray = Roles.GetRolesForUser(UsersListBox.SelectedItem.Value);

            //check if the selected user is in role "Administrator"

        }

I have tried using this.User.IsInRole("Administrators"). However it will only retrieve the role of the active user instead of the selected user in the ListBox.

Answer 1

   if(Roles.IsUserInRole(UserListBox.SelectedItem.Value,"Administrator"))
    {
      //
    }
