Posted: 30 Jun 2010 01:12 PM PDT

When I posted my RIA Services and Authentication post earlier in the week (which I highly recommend checking out first if you haven't), the first comments/tweets I saw indicated people also want to see roles working in the application. So I decided to add this bit of functionality, both in the Book Club application and the supporting functionality in the RIAEssentials framework, so you can use it easily in your own applications as well. From a scenario perspective, what I am going to do is require an Admin role to browse and add book club members. Adding and Using Roles The first step is to update the AuthenticationService implementation I showed earlier to add roles into the authentication process. It only requires quite literally a couple...(read more)

Making ASP.NET Buttons Match the default WebSite Template.

Posted: 30 Jun 2010 08:00 AM PDT

So here is how you make your ASP.NET Button control instances match other "clickable" objects in the default ASP.NET Web Site template (like the menu tab). Open the Site.css file in the Styles folder of your solution and add the following 2 CSS classes. Code Snippet .button { color : White ; background-color : #465C71 ; border : 1px solid ; border-color : Gray ; } .buttonhover { color : White ; background-color : #BFCBD6 ; border : 1px solid ; border-color : Gray ; } Now when you add an ASP.NET Button Control to your page, set the CssClass...(read more)
