App Settings multiple values

I have to check in the code if the user has acess to the tool,i use this line to do this:

 var appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[APPSETTINGS.SUPPORTUSERS].ToUpper();
 if ((loggedUser.Login.ToUpper() != appSetting))

The problem is in in the web.config file i have this:

<add key="SupportUsers" value="sis8ca"/>

I'm trying to put multiple values in this string,like "sis8ca , dts8ca , lgu8ca",if the person has acess,she can use it,but i cant pass multiple values like this,is there other way?

Use something like this in your settings file:

<add key="SupportUsers" value="sis8ca,dts8ca,lgu8ca"/>

Then in your code behind do the following:

var appSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[APPSETTINGS.SUPPORTUSERS].ToUpper();

string[] supportUsers = appSetting.Split(',');
if (supportUsers.Contains(loggedUser.Login.ToUpper()))
{
    // The rest of your code
}

Use:

<add key="SupportUsers" value="sis8ca;dts8ca;lgu8ca"/>

And the logic to check it:

var users = appSetting.Split(new[]{';'});
var hasAccess = users.Contains(loggedUser);

if (hasAccess){ 
   ...
}

Yes you can pass multiple values by comma(,) separator and then when you call that key value use split

for eg.

string val = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[APPSETTINGS.SUPPORTUSERS].ToUpper();
string[] words = val.Split(',');

you will get list of that words

The simplest solution would be to set a delimiter, and use string.Split on that:

<add key="SupportUsers" value="sis8ca;dts8ca;lgu8ca"/>

var supportedUsers = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SupportUsers"]
                                         .Split(';')
                                         .ToList();

if (values.Contains(loggedUser.Login))
{
   // Do stuff.
}
