I want to use common master-page
for different roles, i just want to set different themes and menu items according to roles, could somebody guide me on how can i use in my membership code in the same master page ?
For my current code i downloaded the membership code from the codeplex that set different master pages for different roles, but i see when i have to make some page common for all roles that is to be access according to roles, i have to make the page page in each roles folder and have to set it to master page menu according to role, so i want to use a common master page for all....
You can change the master page programmatically during the OnPreInit
method:
protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnPreInit(e);
if (Roles.IsUserInRole("Admins"))
{
Page.MasterPageFile = "AdminDefault.master";
return;
}
Page.MasterPageFile = "Default.master";
}
If this functionality will be used by several or more pages, I would consider putting it in a base class that the pages can inherit from.
