R – ASP.NET: Total control of the ASP.NET membership provider

asp.netasp.net-membershipmembership

I have an application which uses the built in ASP.NET membership provider. There are two roles (admin and staff). I want admins to be able to see a list of current staff, add or delete staff and reset passwords. So far I've found very little information, but Membership.Provider.GetAllUsers looks promising. Is there any way I could show the list in a GridView?

At minimum, I need to be able to add and delete users through the site.

For an extensive guide on using the Membership and Roleprovider in ASP.NET, see this tutorial: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/120705-1.aspx

Creating users programmatically is explained here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d8t4h2es.aspx.

But really, MSDN is very complete on this subject. Just read the Introduction into Membership and follow the links. Everything you want is perfectly possible.

R – ASP.NET Membership & GridViews

Handle the "RowDataBound" event for your gridview, and inside your event handler, check the user's credentials and set the appropriate visibility on your buttons.

void MyGridView_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{  
    if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
      // Check user credentials and set button visibility
      e.Row.Cells[x].Controls[y].Visible = true; //or false
    }
}
