Get Role name in IdentityUserRole 2.0 in ASP.NET

Question

Before the update of the dll\'s in the Entity Framework i was able to do this

user.Roles.Where(r => r.Role.Name == \"Admin\").FisrtOrDefault(); 
         


        

Answer 1

I've just had almost exactly the same issue and I solved it like this:

public class UserRole : IdentityUserRole
{
    public virtual Role Role { get; set; } // add this to see roles
    public virtual User User { get; set; } // add this to see users
}

Now your original code user.Roles.Where(r => r.Role.Name == "Admin").FirstOrDefault(); will work, which could be handy if you don't have easy access to the RoleManager for any reason.
