Why is this not working - please check my code - Role, Profile

[Annie]

Hello guys,



I have set the MEMBERSHIP, ROLEMANAGER and PROFILE in my config file as
below.

I just want to use my own sql server 2000 table instead of MSDB.



I have used the ASP.net Configruation Page to add couple of users

and roles and then assigned the users to roles.



The membership is working fine it connects to my database. However the
Rolemanager and the Profile is not working.



For roles I test like this:



Dim rls() As String

rls = Roles.GetAllRoles

For ctr As Integer = 0 To rls.Length - 1

Response.Write(rls(ctr))

Next

Even I do:

If User.IsInRole("Admin") Then

Response.Write("Yes")

End If

But it doesn't work.

For Profile when I type Profile and then (.), it shows all the other details
of the Profile object but not the customised properties I have added.

Any input will be much appreciated. Many thanks

Couple things, first the profiles. Are you using the Web Application
Project? That's the project that was added to VS as an independent add-in,
and then as part of SP 1. The Web Application Project is different from the
Web Site Project in that it compiles everything into a single dll at build.
The Web Site Project did things dynamically, which meant that the profile
classes were created on the fly when the site was visited. Unfortunately,
this doesn't work with the Web Application Project type. There's an add-in
though that can generate the classes for you so they can be compiled into
your app at: http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/AspWebProfileGenerator

With luck, that will solve a lot of those issues.

Now, the roles. Keep in mind that User.IsInRole simply tests a cookie to see
if that role is there. Try instead the Roles.IsUserInRole("Admin") or
Roles.IsUserInRole(Page.User.Identity.Name,"Admin")

Dear Mark,

Yes you are right. I am using the web application project.
I will try to download the add in and install it and hope it will work.

In regarding to RoleManager I am trying to do it as:

Dim rls() As String

rls = Roles.GetAllRoles

For ctr As Integer = 0 To rls.Length - 1

Response.Write(rls(ctr))

Next

Even this one doesn't work ... ie I am using the object model for the Roles.
Could it be affected by the web project too?

many thanks
