Question

I have six variables of type String, they contain 0/1 value retrieved from a DB field bit.

So,these variables are value of radio boxes, that have Y=1 | N=0.

Now, I have a Varilable, that accept one or more enumerator values, they are separated by pipe “|”.

if (bool.Parse(mht_ReadAccess) && bool.Parse(mht_WriteAccess))
{
  var grantAccessRequest = new GrantAccessRequest
  {
    PrincipalAccess = new PrincipalAccess
    {
      AccessMask = AccessRights.WriteAccess | AccessRights.ReadAccess,
      Principal = userreference
    },
    Target = recordentityreference
  };
}

Now, this is a static way to solve this problem. If I have 6 variables like “mht_WriteAccess” , how can I check how many of them are set on true, and automatically change the situation for the “AccessMask” variable, and so pass all the right enum values with pipe.

I want to know if there’s a way to do this automatically, maybe with any cycle?

Answer 1

AccessRights rights = 0;

if (bool.Parse(mht_ReadAccess))
    rights |= AccessRights.ReadAccess;

if (bool.Parse(mht_WriteAccess))
    rights |= AccessRights.WriteAccess;

// do the same for all other variables

var grantAccessRequest = new GrantAccessRequest
{
    PrincipalAccess = new PrincipalAccess
    {
        AccessMask = rights,
        Principal = userreference
    },
    Target = recordentityreference
};
