A user menu according to a Data Base role ?¿

I'm not sure if this is what you need.

my menu
---------

Admin (mnuAdmin)
-- adminsub1 (mnuAdminSub1)
-- adminsub2 (mnuAdminSub2)
Guest (mnuGuest)
-- guestsub1 (mnuGuestSub1)
-- guestsub2 (mnuGuestSub2)
PowerUser (mnuPowerUser)
-- powerusersub1 (mnuPowerUserSub1)
-- powerusersub2 (mnuPowerUserSub2)

something like this after calling the logon method.
----------------
Role role = logon(userid, password)
switch (role)
    case role.Admin:
        mnuGuest.Visible = false
        mnuPowerUser.Visible = false
    case role.PowerUser:
       .....mnuPowerUserSub1.Enabled = false


you could also specifiy role funtions and which role are able to perform it in the database. you could then use that data to know which menus/submenus to disable/hide/enable/show

Hope this helps.

Hi Jan Montano,

Answer 1) Yes, i already have a database with the Roles and Users for each Role (SQL Server).
Answer 2) Yes, i already can retrieve data from the database.
Answer 3) Yes, i have created menus in my aplication, but there is only one menu, the main menu.


I want to differentiate (dinamically hide/show/disable/enable) the main menu depending on what user logging into my applitacion.
The menu has a menuStrip (with items) and a ToolStrip (with buttons).

Hi,

What in particular are you having trouble with?

1. Do you already have a database table with the roles?
2. Do you already know how to retrieve data from a database?
3. Have you already created menus in your application? What are the menus/submenus you created?

Jan Montano can you be more specific or descriptive, please...i wanna differ the menu depending on the user logged into my appz
Somebody has another idea? please i will apreciate it.
