I recently had a nice discussion with a colleague about the best way to check if the current user has permissions to view a specified SharePoint list in a SP2010 site using C#.
Basically there are 2 ways to check for permissions:
1) SPSecurableObject.DoesUserHavePermissions
2) SPSecurity.CatchAccessDeniedException
This post discusses both methods, proposes implementations and discusses the pro’s and cons.
