I am having a problem and I can't find a solution.
I have a module with some extension methods for IPrincipal:
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _
Public Function CanCallGhostbusters(ByRef activeUser As IPrincipal) As Boolean
Dim result As Boolean = False
resultado = activeUser.IsInRole("GB\GhostBustersCaller") AndAlso ...
Return result
End Function
The code is working fine in .aspx pages:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If User.CanCallGhostbusters Then
//It works; cool!
End If
End Sub
But it is not working in the masterpage; the extension method doesn't appear in the intellisense. I have tried:
If HttpContext.Current.User.CanCallGhostbusters Then
//Error: CanCallGhostbusters is not a member of System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal
End If
Dim activeUser As System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal = HttpContext.Current.User
If activeUser.CanCallGhostbusters Then
//Error: CanCallGhostbusters is not a member of System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal
End If
Any idea?
Thanks!
