If you need to find all the roles of your user, use the following:

Roles.GetRolesForUser()

It will give you a string array of all its roles. You can specify a user for the mtehod.

You can use it in a method like:

foreach(string role in Roles.GetRolesForUser())
{
   // do treatment for this role of the user
}

See doc here for this method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.roles.getrolesforuser.aspx

In MX2 solution, you browse all types of roles defined, not only this user roles!

You can find Roles methods here in MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.Web.Security.Roles_methods.aspx

Try this:

 foreach (var item in Roles.GetAllRoles())
 {
      if(Context.User.IsInRole(item))
      {
            //code
      }
      else
      {
            //code
      }
 }
