The following code example shows a sample implementation of the IsUserInRole method.
Public Overrides Function IsUserInRole(ByVal username As String, ByVal rolename As String) As Boolean If username Is Nothing OrElse username = "" Then _ Throw New ProviderException("User name cannot be empty or null.") If rolename Is Nothing OrElse rolename = "" Then _ Throw New ProviderException("Role name cannot be empty or null.") Dim userIsInRole As Boolean = False Dim conn As OdbcConnection = New OdbcConnection(connectionString) Dim cmd As OdbcCommand = New OdbcCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM UsersInRoles " & _ " WHERE Username = ? AND Rolename = ? AND ApplicationName = ?", conn) cmd.Parameters.Add("@Username", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = username cmd.Parameters.Add("@Rolename", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = rolename cmd.Parameters.Add("@ApplicationName", OdbcType.VarChar, 255).Value = ApplicationName Try conn.Open() Dim numRecs As Integer = CType(cmd.ExecuteScalar(), Integer) If numRecs > 0 Then userIsInRole = True End If Catch e As OdbcException ' Handle exception. Finally conn.Close() End Try Return userIsInRole End Function
