Using a Custom Principal with Membership and Role Providers

[David C]

Hi All,

I've been looking at the RoleProvider/MembershipProvider classes in ASP.Net
2.0 and Ilike what I see. However I would like to use a custom principal
object rather than the RolePrincipal. IS this possible in a neat, supported
way?

Thanks,

DC

well - it is RolePrincipal that gives you a lot of the role manager functionality
like caching...

that said - of course you can handle PostAuthenticateRequest (after RoleManager
has done its work) and create a new Principal.
