isinrole

I have created a custom role provider for my MVC4 application where I have been successfully able to override CreateRole, GetAllRoles and RoleExists methods and link them to my existing database as follows: namespace Project.Providers { public class MyProvider : System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider { private MyContext dbcontext = new MyContext(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyContext"].ConnectionString); private Repository<MyUser> userRepository; private Repository<Role> roleRepository; public MyProvider() { this.userRepository = new Repository<MyUser>(dbcontext);

In my mvc5 project to disable an action link for unauthorized users i did like this @if (User.IsInRole("Admin") | User.IsInRole("Manager")) { @Html.ActionLink("Add New Record", "ProductTypeIndex", "ProductType") } But if there are many roles to check then this @if() gets long. How to avoid this? Do i need custom helpers for this(if so how can i approach it)? Help appreciated.. You could write your own extension method and use it in your code. public static class PrincipalExtensions { public static bool IsInAllRoles(this IPrincipal principal, params string[] roles) { return roles.All(r =>
