If you have enabled Membership Roles, then you may use the Edit Membership Roles
View to specify the roles for a selected user.
This view is not visible if roles are not enabled.
As illustrated, the view displays the current user's name and Email Address and includes check boxes for each of the roles you have defined.
Recall that the Membership Manager Control includes a feature for creating new membership roles.
To add a member to a role, simply check the appropriate checkBox. To remove the role membership, simply uncheck the box. The "OK" button submits the changes while the "Cancel" button returns you to the Summary View without committing your changes.
Customizing the view (design time)
The Heading Text and User Name prompt may be modified by changing the EditRolesTitle
and ChangeRoleNamePrompt properties in the Visual Studio 2005 Properties
pane.
While simple label and style changes might be adequate for your needs, you may also wish to take advantage of the Convert to Template option which exposes the view's constituent web controls for formatting and editing.
As illustrated, the Tasks panel includes an option to select the desired view then Convert to Template changes it to a templated panel.
Just like the Asp.Net Login Controls, templated views allow you to change the layout and content of the panel. You actually have a lot of flexibility when doing so, however you must not delete or change the name of the active controls such as the text box, the OK button or the Cancel Button.
The following is an example of a panel that has been converted to a template then customized with additional controls:
As you can see, the modified control may contain additional label controls, check boxes and varied formatting.
Control properties do not apply to templated views
When you convert a view to a templated view, the constituent controls are created using the current properties which have been set (styles, text, etc.) The next time you refresh the page, you may notice that properties related to the now-templated view are no longer listed in the Visual Studio 2005 Properties pane. This is by design and it is assumed that you will be setting properties on the controls themselves.
If you want to discard your templated changes, just bring up the tasks menu and click the Reset option as illustrated below. Caution: Reset will immediately discard any changes you have made to your custom view template. Of course, nothing is permanent until you save the file.
