In a C# 2008 application I am trying to determine how to correlate values from an app.config file with an enum value.
Right now in this C# application the user roles are hard-coded and the hardcoded values are used in an enumeration based upon user roles.
The enumeration looks like the following:
public enum ERole {
User = 0, Manager = 1, Administrator = 2, read =3}
switch (eRole) {
case User:
return IsInGroup(Co
nfigurationManager.AppSettings[
"user"]);
case Read:
return IsInGroup(
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[
"read"]);
default:
return false;
}
Now I am changing the code to use values from the app.config file instead of using hard-coded values.
The app.config file looks like the following:
< appSettings>
<add key="role_user" value="CQT123" />
<add key="role_Manager" value="CQT1298*" />
<add key="role_Administrator" value="ZZ35" />
<add key="role_ read" value="cv54" />
</appSettings>
switch (eRole) {
case User:
return IsInGroup(Co
nfigurationManager.AppSettings[
"user"]);
case Read:
return IsInGroup(
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[
"read"]);
default:
return false;
}
However my problem is, how should I change the enum listed above so I do not use the hard-coded value for User, Manager, Administrator, and read? I could possibly change the switch statement.
