sessions and masterpages

This is what I did in my case. Though it is tedious somehow it delivers what I want. First, I created a private login method.

private void Login()
{
try
{
string Username = username.Value.Trim();
string Password = password.Value.Trim();
if(Username != null && Password != null)
{
user = UsersDataAccess.UserCredentials(Username, Password);
username.Value = user.Username.ToString();
password.Value = user.Password.ToString();
if (user.Username == username.Value && user.Password == password.Value)
{
UserInformation();
UpdateLastLogin();
}
else
{
WebMessageBox.Show("Invalid username or password. Please try again.");
username.Focus();
}
}
else
{
WebMessageBox.Show("You have not supplied either username or password. Please try again.");
username.Focus();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
if (ex is NullReferenceException)
{
WebMessageBox.Show("Invalid username or password. Please try again.");
username.Focus();
}
else
{
throw ex;
}
}
}

Then, I created another method which will determine the type of user who logged in in my system:

private void UserInformation()
{
try
{
string Username = username.Value.Trim();
string Password = password.Value.Trim();
users = UsersDataAccess.GetUserInformation(Username, Password);
lblUserId.Text = users.UserId.ToString();
lblUsername.Text = users.Username.ToString();
lblLastLoginDate.Text = users.LastLoginDate.ToString();
lblTeacherCode.Text = users.TeacherCode.ToString();
lblSchoolId.Text = users.SchoolId.ToString();
lblSchoolCode.Text = users.SchoolCode.ToString();
lblSchoolName.Text = users.SchoolName.ToString();
lblUserTypeId.Text = users.UserTypeId.ToString();
lblSubscriptionId.Text = users.SubcriptionType.ToString();
int userId = Convert.ToInt32(lblUserId.Text);
int schoolId = Convert.ToInt32(lblSchoolId.Text);
int userTypeId = Convert.ToInt32(lblUserTypeId.Text);
int SubcriptionType = Convert.ToInt32(lblSubscriptionId.Text);
if (userId > 0 && SubcriptionType > 0)
{
if (users.SchoolId == schoolId && SubcriptionType == 1)
{
switch (userTypeId)
{
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
PassSession();
Response.Redirect("~/DashboardAdmin/index.aspx", false);
Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
break;
case 5: WebMessageBox.Show("The school subscription does not include Teachers Portal.");
break;
case 6:
WebMessageBox.Show("The school subscription does not include Students Portal.");
break;
}
}
else if (users.SchoolId == schoolId && SubcriptionType == 2)
{
switch (userTypeId)
{
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
PassSession();
Response.Redirect("~/DashboardAdmin/index.aspx", false);
Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
break;
case 5:
PassSession();
Response.Redirect("~/TeachersPortal/Landing.aspx", false);
Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
break;
case 6:
WebMessageBox.Show("The school subscription does not include Students Portal.");
break;
}
}
else if (users.SchoolId == schoolId && SubcriptionType == 3)
{
switch (userTypeId)
{
case 1:
case 2:
case 3:
case 4:
PassSession();
Response.Redirect("~/DashboardAdmin/index.aspx", false);
Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
break;
case 5:
PassSession();
Response.Redirect("~/TeachersPortal/Landing.aspx", false);
Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
break;
case 6:
PassSession();
Response.Redirect("~/StudentsPortal/Landing.aspx", false);
Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
break;
}
}
else if (users.SchoolId == schoolId && SubcriptionType == 4)
{
switch (userTypeId)
{
case 1:
PassSession();
Response.Redirect("~/DashboardAdmin/index.aspx", false);
Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
break;
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}

The rest is creating a session.

Hi,

You need to check at the time of login.

you need to check if the user is an admin then you have to redirect to admin side and if the normal user then sends to the user side.

Hi,

create two table in database

create table MstMenu
(
id int identity(1,1) primary key,
caption varchar(100),
url varchar(100),
orderid int,
isshow bit
)
create table MstMappedMenu
(
id int identity(1,1) primary key,
userid int, -- Foreign key refernce your user table
menuid int--Foreign key refernce your MstMenu
)
bind menu with join in both table and bind it accordingly.

Thanks

Dear Rajendra Singh,

please help me implementing also.

thanks in advance

Hi,

You need to bind master page through code behind during login.

protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Page.MasterPageFile = "~/Blank.master";
}

But you have to do this on each page.

I would suggest make a menu table and bind accordingly to user or admin whoever login
to the system by this you can give permission for specific pages in case you have two type of admin.

Incase you need help in implementaion please let me know.

Thanks & Regards
Rajendra Singh
