HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole

[Guest]

Hi,
In my asp.net app I am using this code:

FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket =
new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
1,
lcred.UserName,
DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(ldExpiration),
false,
lsRoles
);

lsRoles is a string with all roles (separated with "|").

When I later use the HttpContext.Current.User.IsInRole method it works fine
on my developer machine but not on my production machine... what can be wrong.

Thanks

From what you've shown us, you aren't doing enough to get it work (not sure
why it's working in dev).

Take a look at:
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/AspNetCustomAuth.asp

But you should be getting the roles (from the cookie if they are there, or
from wherever else if they aren't) and creating a new IPrincipal user which
you assign to the Context.User.
