Hi,
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
Can anyone tell me how to query the MembershipProviderCollection returned by a call to Membership.Providers using LINQ.
Specifically I need to return a provider by its ApplicationName property.
In effect I want to execute something like : SELECT provider FROM Membership.Providers where ApplicationName = MyApplicationName.
Currently I have a foreach( MembershipProvider....) statement which I use to iterate through the list of providers in the web.config and I then check the ApplicationName property to see if it is the one I want. However, I have found that if the provider is accessed, it checks to see if it is valid (has permissions to access its provider store - such as the database) and throws an exception if it does not. Since the permissions are set by the application I do not want to check providers that do not belong to ...
Go to the complete details ...
