This blog was interesting! I’ve got a solution for it that’s already in the latest Slab bits (a few controls that make life easier), but I haven’t yet blogged about it. Expect to see it soon. I’m excited.

[...] I came across a way to easily secure any Silverlight application, and thought I would share it with the list. It is a simple combination of 2 controls that can be found here http://www.davidpoll.com/2010/01/01/opening-up-silverlight-4-navigation-authenticationauthorization-... [...]

Awesome library! This is exactly what I am looking for. I am trying to test my rules though and getting this into my testing framework. I currently try to put everything in ViewModel classes to aid in testing, but your solution is so elegant that I am using it anyway. Do you have any insight into how to do unit testing on AuthContentLoader? I checked out your unit tests in your source, but it looks like you added your rules manually into the test. What I would like is to have the AuthLoader I have already defined in my MainPage.xaml as the unit under test but testing this using the Silverlight Unit Testing framework is turning into a bear. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Love the approach (hating testing right now).

AuthContentLoader is available as part of SLaB (see the Downloads and Samples page)

Shane,

Sorry for the delayed response. As far as licensing goes, all of this is released under MS-Pl, which is about as permissive as it gets. You’re welcome to use it with the caveat that you shouldn’t expect support/thorough testing from me, so it’s all for use at your own risk

Hi David, this is an excellent piece of work and I am keen to use it in the authentication on an application I am developing. What are the licensing issues for this, am I able to do this?

One thing I am worried about, and this may a bit of a noob question. Is the namespace on the Main.xaml usercontrol: xmlns:SLaB=”http://www.davidpoll.com/SLaB”

What do I need to do to change this so that it references locally. (Otherwise my application is dependent on your site being up?)

Many Thanks,

Shane

Unfortunately, WPF doesn’t yet support INavigationContentLoader.

This is a noobie type question so aologies in advance.

Can this concept be applied to WPF applications?
