SharePoint Web Services: How to Access the Document Library for the Current User Programmatically

Question

I have an application in which I want to display all document libraries for which the current user has write permissions. How can I get this information ... GetLists does not return anything to me about permissions ... Whereas "GetPermissionCollection" only gives me permissions when the user has full access as permissions ... so this is useless ... : (

We have nothing like "GetRolesAndPermissionsForCurrentUser" to get permissions for lists. I use this to get site level permissions for the current user ... But this does not work for lists :(

Someone please help ..... :(

You can check the permissions that the current user has in the list:

List<SPList> lists = new List<SPList>(); foreach (SPList spList in properties.Web.Lists) { if (spList.DoesUserHavePermissions(SPBasePermissions.EditListItems)) { lists.Add(spList); } }
