Could you please define the structure of your variable / class ?

Hey ,thanks ...this is my piece of code..


uname = Session["sessionname"].ToString();

taskcd = new string[10];

viewable = new string[10];

editable = new string[10];

deletable = new string[10];

addable = new string[10];

string sql = "select view_flag,edit_flag,delete_flag,add_flag,task_cd from Task_user where name='" + uname + "' ";

cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, co.oConn);
rd = cmd.ExecuteReader();

while (rd.Read())
{

taskcd[i] = rd["task_cd"].ToString();
Session.Add("taskcode", taskcd[i]);

viewable[i] = rd["view_flag"].ToString();
Session.Add("viewable", viewable[i]);

editable[i] = rd["edit_flag"].ToString();
Session.Add("editable", editable[i]);


deletable[i] = rd["delete_flag"].ToString();
Session.Add("deletable", deletable[i]);


addable[i] = rd["add_flag"].ToString();
Session.Add("addable", addable[i]);

i = i + 1;
}

rd.Close();



this is the way I have been adding the session values to the array.But there must be some other better methods.Here,there are 6 task codes for 1 user.Each task code has all the view,add,delete and edit flags.What I am supposed to do is redirect the user to the page(or task),according to the privilege he has.Like some might have only previlige to view and not to edit,delete or add and so on.So,the main problem is to find this out and to redirect to the correct page.pls help.

Thanks!

Hi
If i were you and was to stick to keeping all the code as strings
i wud create a class and put the username, along with the 6 different values in it.
If you want to club up all the strings as one object, its good to use ahash table or a dictionary to do it.

public class userSession
{
   public string uname;
   public Dictionary<string, string> perms;
}

hope you do know how to use Dictionary....there is lots of help already available if you may google.

but looking at what you need, u might keep those 6 flags as booleans in the class i created above instead of a dictionary.

Once u create an object of the class....store it into ure Session.

cheers
