VirtualRoleHelper(VirtualRoleRepository<VirtualRoleProviderBase>, RoleProvider)
Initializes a new instance of the VirtualRoleHelper class.

public VirtualRoleHelper(VirtualRoleRepository<VirtualRoleProviderBase> virtualRoleRepository, RoleProvider roleProvider)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |

| VirtualRoleRepository<VirtualRoleProviderBase> | virtualRoleRepository | |
| System.Web.Security.RoleProvider | roleProvider |
Properties
Repository
The repository that contains all registered virtual roles
Declaration

Methods
GetAllRoles()
Gets all virtual roles and all roles defined by the Role provider.
Declaration
public IEnumerable<string> GetAllRoles()Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String> | A string array with all role names. |
Remarks
If you want to get a list of all roles, both from the Roles provider and virtual roles, use this method since it will filter out any duplicates caused by overloading role names from virtual roles. I e if you have a virtual role named "Administrators" and Roles.GetAllRoles() contains an entry named "Administrators" the final array returned by this method will only contain a single reference to the "Administrators" name.
GetAllRolesForUser(String)
Gets all available roles for a user.
Declaration
public IEnumerable<string> GetAllRolesForUser(string username)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.String | username | The username. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String> | An enumberable of strings with the names of all available roles for the user, regardless if she is a member of the role or not. |
GetAllVirtualRoles()
Get a list of all virtual roles.
Declaration
public IEnumerable<string> GetAllVirtualRoles()Returns

Gets the virtual role name for the specified class (if many exists you may receive any of them)
Declaration
public string GetRoleNameForClass(Type classType)Parameters

IsPrincipalInVirtualRole(IPrincipal, String, Object)
Determines whether the specified principal is in the virtual role
Declaration
public bool IsPrincipalInVirtualRole(IPrincipal principal, string virtualRole, object context)Parameters

|---|---|---|
| System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal | principal | The principal. |
| System.String | virtualRole | The role. |
| System.Object | context | The context of the request |

SearchRoles(String)
Find virtual roles and roles defined by the Role provider.

public IEnumerable<string> SearchRoles(string query)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.String | query | Query to find roles in. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String> | A list of roles that match the roleName |
Remarks
Matching of role names is simply a substring check - if the role contains the string passed in roleName anywhere in the string, it is considered a match. A Null or empty roleName will return all roles.
If you want to get a list of roles from the Roles provider and virtual roles, use this method since it will filter out any duplicates caused by overloading role names from virtual roles. I e if you have a virtual role named "Administrators" and Roles.GetAllRoles() contains an entry named "Administrators" the final enumerator returned by this method will only contain a single reference to the "Administrators" name.
