Public ReadOnly Property User As IPrincipal

Property Value

Type: System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal

An object that contains the authenticated user.

You use the User property to retrieve information about the user during the SelectingProvider event.

The following example shows an event handler for the SelectingProvider event. The event handler uses the SelectingProviderEventArgs object to check the user name and set the role provider to use. The event handler is bound to the SelectingProvider event in the Application_Start method of the Global.asax file.

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    AddHandler System.Web.ApplicationServices.RoleService.SelectingProvider, _
        AddressOf Me.RoleService_SelectingProvider
End Sub

Sub RoleService_SelectingProvider _
(ByVal sender As Object, _
 ByVal e As System.Web.ApplicationServices.SelectingProviderEventArgs)

    If (e.User.Identity.Name.IndexOf("@example.com") > 0) Then
        e.ProviderName = "EmployeeRoleProvider"
    Else
        e.ProviderName = "CustomerRoleProvider"
    End If
End Sub
