System.Web.Security.RoleProvider.GetRolesForUser Method

Gets a list of the roles that a specified user is in for the configured applicationName.

Syntax

public abstract string[] GetRolesForUser (string username)

Parameters

username
The user to return a list of roles for.

Returns

A string array containing the names of all the roles that the specified user is in for the configured applicationName.

Remarks

RoleProvider.GetRolesForUser(string) is called by the Roles.GetRolesForUser method of the System.Web.Security.Roles class to retrieve the role names that the specified user is associated with from the data source. Only the roles for the configured RoleProvider.ApplicationName are retrieved.

If no roles exist for the specified user for the configured applicationName, we recommend that your provider return a string array with no elements.

If the specified user name is null or is an empty string, we recommend that your provider throw an exception.
