Question

I just don’t know how to explain this clearly. So I create a simple image pattern of what I did.

My question is, how would I be able to access my database in other class in LS?

I’ve been searching on net, but I didn’t found any solution. I hope I’ll find it here.

Thanks!.

Any suggestion is already appreciated.

Thanks for the answer Bryan, but I found the answer on my problem here Richard Waddell

Here is what I did to achieve my goal.

1. Switch your LS project to file view
2. Go to “Common” project, under “UserCode” folder, create a class (e.g. Authenticate.cs) and put this codes.

The code follows:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.LightSwitch;
namespace LightSwitchApplication
{
    public class Authenticate
    {
        public static adminuser GetCurrentUser()
        {
            adminuser userFound = (from useritem in 
            Application.Current.CreateDataWorkspace().basecampcoreData.adminusers
            where useritem.LoginID == Application.Current.User.Name
            select useritem).SingleOrDefault();

            if (userFound != null)
                return userFound;
            else
                return null;
        }
    }
}

Then you can now call the Authenticate.GetCurrentUser() anywhere in the project.
Thanks!
