Bool bReturn = true;

Savior

Directly from our beloved forum software:

public static bool Validate(Section section, Permission permission, User user, Post p)
{

if(user.IsBlogAdministrator)
return true;

if(section == null || section.PermissionSet == null || user == null )
return false;

bool bReturn = true;
WeblogPermission fpFinal = section.ResolvePermission(user) as WeblogPermission;

if((permission == (permission | Permission.Administer)) && bReturn )
bReturn &= fpFinal.Administer;

if((permission == (permission | Permission.Attachment)) && bReturn )
bReturn &= fpFinal.Attachment;

if((permission == (permission | Permission.Delete)) && bReturn )
bReturn &= fpFinal.Delete;

if((permission == (permission | Permission.Post)) && bReturn )
bReturn &= fpFinal.Post;

if((permission == (permission | Permission.Reply)) && bReturn )
bReturn &= fpFinal.Reply;

if((permission == (permission | Permission.Sticky)) && bReturn )
bReturn &= fpFinal.Sticky;

if((permission == (permission | Permission.View)) && bReturn )
bReturn &= fpFinal.View;

return bReturn;
}

WeblogPermission fpFinal = section.ResolvePermission(user) as WeblogPermission;

Casting like this calls for a 'null reference check', otherwise cast the standard way:

WeblogPermission fpFinal = (WeblogPermission)section.ResolvePermission(user);

Maybe I overlooked, but this is the only WTF I found!
