Authorization in Silverlight, part 2: manipulating the UI

In this part, we’re going to look at another type of authorization: authorizing access to certain UI elements IN a View (instead of the complete View), depending on the role of the logged in user, and deciding what to do when the user hasn’t got the correct role (eg: do you want to disable the element, or do you want to hide it completely?). We’re going to write a component to achieve this as easily as possible, so it can be reused in different applications.
