Stuck creating a “security trimmed” html.ActionLink extension method

Question

I\'m trying to create an Extension Method for MVC\'s htmlHelper. The purpose is to enable or disable an ActionLink based on the AuthorizeAttribute set on the controller/acti

Answer 1

Your ViewPage has a reference to the view context, so you could make it an extension method on that instead.

Then you can just say if Request.IsAuthenticated or Request.User.IsInRole(...)

usage would be like <%= this.SecurityLink(text, demandRole, controller, action, values) %>
