[Solved] How to remove Edit function based on permissions

[Stephen]

Hi,

I am binding RadGrid to an ObjectDataSource.  I have a table in the database which controls who can make edits in the data (rather than using SQL security and pass though authentication).

How can I remove the Edit button based on some logic - which event do I have to capture.

Imagine I have a function called CheckAccess which returns true or false....

PseudoCode

Before DataGrid Renders
    Is CheckAccess returning False Then
        Hide Edit Buttons and Edit Columns
    Else
        Show Edit Buttons and Edit Columns

Thanks

Hi Stephen,

You can use ItemCreated to achieve this. Here is an example:

If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
  Dim editButton As LinkButton = CType(CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)("YourEditColumnUniqueName").Controls(0), LinkButton)
  editButton.Visible = your condition
End If
