Hey again,

I'm building an authentification module, and I need to allow multiple users. This is NOT done using standard IIS security, thus, NOT in the web.config file.

What I need to do is this. I have a string called Allowed. Now, in that string, I can place user names, devided by a ';' and a ' '. So, how can I sort of search the string for a ';' and a ' ' and make a breakpoint or something to divide the string into pieces? This must be possible, but how?

Use the split Function:

Dim arrvalues

arrvalues = split(string, ";")

it will then put all the bits into an array.

But!

It should look like this, my opinion.

Dim _values As String()
Dim stringToSplit As String = "Admin;Moderator;User"
Dim _values = strintToSplit.Split(";")

What You did is OLD VB code ... why not use the new things added to VB.NET instead?

_value contains a string array (As String()) and You can loop through it like this:


Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 TO (_value.length - 1)
 Dim _tmp As String = _value(i)
Next

just my �0.02
