I am not sure if the permissions are cached, my guess is that they are not.



Another idea is use a splash form which will do all the settings in the background letting the user know what is going on, then show up the main form when done. Trent posted a very easy to implement sample of such Splash Form in the forum a while ago, that sample project may give you some ideas to implement in your project.



Also using background process object in some key process speed up a lot of things, so if you have some sort of calculation process that you do before loading the main form, a background process can help you in that regard.



Please keep us posted.

From the help:

"When a user logs into the system, a flat list of his/her permissions is compiled according to the permissions assigned to the user through his/her assigned roles and directly assigned permissions."

If you have a look at the RBS source code, you will see that GetPermission will try to get the value from a Dictionary added with the user's permissions. This is initialized when the user is Authenticated. So, there won't be a trip to the server when GetPermission is used.

Thanks for looking that up...I tried going through the source code, but did not see that it was accessing a dictionary entry. That's good.

Bill,



Here's a good post from StackOverflow that might help out.

The PostSharp looked very cool, but it was fun to geek out on this a bit.
