How to put an array of enum in a authorize attribute?

Question

I'm trying to do something like this:

   [CustomAuthorize(Permissions = new[] { /*These are Enums */Permissions.CanChangeProducts.ToString(), Permissions.CanChangeNames.ToString()})]
    public ActionResult MyMethod()
    {
        return View();
    }

It gives the error:

Error 5 An attribute argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or array creation expression of an attribute parameter type [...]

I've managed to put Resource string into validationattibutes, but I could'n manage to put this enum (string) array into a authorize attribute... How can I do that? Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

enum.Value | enum.Value | enum.Value

What about flags?

Like this:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Constructor | AttributeTargets.Enum)]
