From an archtectual point of view it would be nicer to separate your Business Ruling from your User Interface. Here you could define the user-roles and determine what their access would be to your data..

Browse All TopicsI display all the users of an application in a asp.net DATAGRID (.NET 1.1Framework)
I have an edit option as a HyperlinkColumn in the dataGrid where they can edit a record.
Now I want to retrict the edit functionality according the NT login.
For eg : I can edit my record but not others. I can view other records only.
How can i restrict that edit functionality in the datagrid. Can the Edit Hyperlink be disabled
for other users allowing me only to edit my record.
here is my datagrid with edit Hyperlink
<TD><asp:datagrid id="Grid1" runat="server"
AllowPaging="True"
PageSize="5" PagerStyle-Mode="NextPrev"
OnPageIndexChanged="Grid1_

Make your HyperLinkColumn Into a TemplateColumn that has a hyperlink control and give the hyperlink control an id such as "hlEdit". Set the hyperlink's visible property to false so that it's hidden by default. Then in your datagrids ItemDataBound event so something like the following:
em Then rol("hlEdi t"), HyperLink)
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingIt
' Obtain reference to the hyperlink
Dim hl As HyperLink = DirectCast(e.Item.FindCont
' This is where you determine if the user should see the hyperlink however you are basing this
If UserCanEditThen
hl.Visible = True
End If
End If
You will have to implement the logic you want in place of "UserCanEdit".
