Filtering Users by Role

[rexdefuror]

I'm still in process of getting full grasp on MVC Membership and this starter kit helped a lot. Now I have an issue which I could not solve on my own.

My user table viewmodel:

public UserTableVM
{
    public IPagedList<MembershipUser> Users {get; set;}
    public IEnumerable<string> Roles {get; set;}
}

And when I try to filter users by role it won't work because I get IEnumerable instead of IPagedList, I've tried casting it and get bunch of errors, also I've tried changing the type in viewmodel to IEnumerable instead of IPagedList and still it errors out.

This is the code I've tried.

string[] roles = Roles.GetRolesForUser();
return View(new UserTableVM
{
    Users = _userService
        .FindAll(index ?? 0, PageSize)
        .Where(
            x => _rolesService.GetRolesForUser(x.UserName).SequenceEqual(roles)
        ),
    Roles = roles
});

Please help.

This project relies upon my PagedList project (https://github.com/TroyGoode/PagedList), and expects the Users property to implement IPagedList. Your example should be more like so:

string[] roles = Roles.GetRolesForUser();
return View(new UserTableVM
{
    Users = _userService
        .Where(
            x => _rolesService.GetRolesForUser(x.UserName).SequenceEqual(roles)
        ).ToPagedList(index ?? 0, PageSize), // <-- CONVERT TO IPAGEDLIST<T>
    Roles = roles
});
