Displaying data on web page, but passed by inherited class...please read 4 more info

I have a class called ApplesBase:

VB Code:

Public Class ApplesBase
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
 
    Public Sub New()
       Call LinkToApples
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub LinkToApples()
        'code here to do stuff
    End Sub
End Class

My web pages now inherit from this:

VB Code:

Public Class EnteringSite
    Inherits ApplesBase
 
    'code for web page
End Class

Now in the function LinkToApples I want something like:

VB Code:

Private Sub LinkToApples()
    If NoPermissions Then
       Response.Write "Woof"
    End If
End Sub

This is not possible to use the response object in this sense, inside an inherited class that is.
I could I suppose redirect to another page, but I don't want to do this.

Any ideas?

Woof

This is the best I could come up with - placing the code in an ordinary class. I cannot see a single way to get this from an inheriting class...

VB Code:

Public Class EnteringSite
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
 
    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'Put user code to initialize the page here
        dim NewApplesBaseRef as ApplesBase = new ApplesBase
 
        If not (NewApplesBaseRef is nothing) Then
            Select Case NewApplesBaseRef.PermissionsRetreived
            Case ApplesBase.enumPermissionsRetreived.NoPermissions 
                Response.Write("woof!")
            End Select
 
            NewApplesBaseRef = nothing
        End If
    End Sub
End Class
 
 
Public Class ApplesBase
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
 
    Private CurrentPermissions as enumPermissionsRetreived
    
    Public Enum enumPermissionsRetreived
        NoPermissions   =   0
    End Enum
 
    Public ReadOnly Property PermissionsRetreived as enumPermissionsRetreived 
    Get 
        Return CurrentPermissions
    End Get
    End Property
 
 
    Public Sub New()
       Call LinkToApples 
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub LinkToApples()      
        ' Do permissions check / login routine here & return a value.
        CurrentPermissions = enumPermissionsRetreived.NoPermissions 
    End Sub
End Class

Hmmm by your method my main web page would not inherit my base page?

Sorry Woka, I can't see any way to do this using inheritance!!!

If I use that above & try & grab at the property from ANY overridden methods within the EnteringSite, it doesn't work! Can't think of another way you're going to be able to do this one...
