Hi, gang! I'm fairly new to VB.NET, but not new to programming. This seems like a busy forum for questions and such, so I'm glad to join in the fun.
Anyway, the question: I have a fairly simple app for changing some database fields (using an ODBCDataSet on .NET 3.5), but the Feature Creep is asking if I can hide or show tabs and other controls based on the user's database permissions. Ideally, I would like to control the permissions only on the server side using AD groups and such, and the app (which uses the logged-in user's Windows account for authentication) would "test" the permissions to determine whether or not to show the tab.
So it's really the last part I need help with: how can I view or test the user's permissions to the dataset? Thanks in advance--
