I set up my site to store user data on a sql server but when creating roles it creates and uses a local database file.

I use the drag and drop wizard control to create users. But to create roles I either used the web configuration site or the line Roles.CreateRole("name");

Why is it using one datastore for users and another for roles?


thanks

This is my web config file

 <?xml version="1.0"?> 

 <configuration>

         <forms loginUrl="Default.aspx" name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH"></forms>

       <membership> 
         <providers> 
           <clear /> 
           <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"

              providerName =" System.Data.Sqlclient"/> 
     </connectionStrings> 

 </configuration>

Moving to ASP.NET.

I was under the impression that providers needed to be specified under the <roleManager> element, but you'll need to dig through MSDN to confirm.
