Own rolemanager provider without aspnetdb.mdf

I'm using rolemanager and security trimming for my menu. Since my server isnt too friendy about this ASPNETDB.mdf, I've created an own rolemanager in xml and c# class. But Visual studio is still creating my ASPNETDB file in APP_DATA. Now I've prevented this by commenting in machine.config file, but now i'm getting errors while debugging the project.

I think I have configured the rolemanager right, and looks like this:

<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="MyXmlProvider">
  <providers>
    <add type="Personal.Providers.MyXmlProvider" name="MyXmlProvider"/>
  </providers>
</roleManager>

Can someone see what is wrong? Is there something that could be useful to solve my problem?

Solution

  • Append a clear (<clear />) element at the beginning of your web.config settings. this will remove all other Providers (even the default)

    <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="MyXmlProvider">
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add type="Personal.Providers.MyXmlProvider" name="MyXmlProvider"/>
  </providers>
</roleManager>
