[Solved] Help with authenticating Grid User

[Michael]

is it possible to hide the Edit/Delete/Add commands for the Grid depending on the role of a user??

Also:
Is anyone able to point me in the direction of an example for having a combobox appear in a grid edit field for lookup of valid entries?

Hello Michael,

You can hide/show the buttons using a simple condition in the grid declaration:

columns.Command(commands =>
{
   if  ((bool)ViewData["CanEdit"] == true)  // In your controller set a flag indicating whether the user can edit
   {
         commands.Edit();
   }
});

I replied to the combobox question in your other forum thread.

Thankyou, 

    All working well and most importantly "as expected"

however I now can't see why the same principle yields me errors when trying to add a conditional tabstrip??

@if((bool) ViewBag.CanEdit){

    tabstrip.Add()
        .Text("Handicapper Results Entry")
        .Content(          );

}

i get an error on the @if((bool)... line informing me that im missing a semi-colon??



help...please

Hello Michael,

This should work:

@(Html.Telerik().TabStrip()
      .Name("tabstrip")
      .Items(items =>
      {
          if (ViewBag.CanEdit)
          {
              items.Add().Text("Tab");
          }
      })
)

I am also attaching a sample application.

Thank you for the sample

Could it be that my code wasnt working because I had split the lines??

because essentially i have the same code as you except that i had .Text  on the next line??

Hi Michael,

 It shouldn't be the split lines. I tried this in my project and it worked as expected. Could you please modify the attached project so it no longer works? I am really not sure what is wrong at your side.
