Get Role name in IdentityUserRole 2.0 in ASP.NET

Before the update of the dll's in the Entity Framework i was able to do this

user.Roles.Where(r => r.Role.Name == "Admin").FisrtOrDefault();

Now, i can only do r.RoleId, and i can't find a way to retreive the name of thar Role Id. I'm using this in my controllers and in my AuthorizeAttribute class.

Can someone help me here?

Regards

Solution

  • Ask the RoleMananger?

    RoleManager.Roles.
// or
RoleManager.FindByIdAsync()
// or 
RoleManager.FindByNameAsync()
