Wrong applicationName returned by Membership.Provider.ApplicationN

[Thomas]

I'm running into a bizzare sitution with the SqlMembershipProvider. I am
using a SqlMembershipProvider and SqlRoleProvider. The are each set to a
different applicationName. like so:

<roleManager defaultProvider="MyRoleProvider"
enabled="true"
cacheRolesInCookie="true"
cookieName=".OURSPIFFYROLES"
cookieTimeout="30"
cookiePath="/"
cookieRequireSSL="false"
cookieSlidingExpiration="true"
cookieProtection="All"
createPersistentCookie="false"
maxCachedResults="10">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="MyRoleProvider"
connectionStringName="Common"
applicationName="MyApplication"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</providers>
</roleManager>

<membership defaultProvider="CustomerProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="CustomerProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
connectionStringName="Common"
applicationName="/"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
requiresUniqueEmail="true"
passwordFormat="Hashed"
maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"
passwordAttemptWindow="10"
minRequiredPasswordLength="8"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
passwordStrengthRegularExpression="" />
</providers>
</membership>


The problem is that Membership.Provider.ApplicationName returns
"MyApplication" and not "/".

If a value is not specified for the applicationName attribute in the configuration file for the Web application,
then the profile providers included with the .NET Framework use the ApplicationVirtualPath property value
for ASP.NET applications.
