Custom RoleProvider with MVC 2.0 webconfig
- by Farrell
I have a custom MembershipProvider and a custom RoleProvider. I created the custom MembershipProvider by creating a SimpleMembershipProvider class which implements the MembershipProvider class. After that I changed my web.config and works.
So I used the same approach creating a custom RoleProvider. Nothing special, just creating a SimpleRoleProvider class which implements the RoleProvider class. But then when I changed the web.config file and runs the solution I get the following error message:
Web.Config
<membership defaultProvider="DashboardMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="SimpleMembershipProvider"
type="Dashboard.Web.Controlling.Account.SimpleMembershipProvider" />
</providers>
</membership>
<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="DashboardRoleProvider">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="DashboardRoleProvider"
type="Dashboard.Web.Controlling.Account.DashboardRoleProvider" />
</providers>
</roleManager>
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: No parameterless constructor defined for this object.
Source Error
Line 78: <add name="SimpleRoleProvider"
Line 79: type="Dashboard.Web.Controlling.Account.SimpleRoleProvider" />
So I searched the web. And tried on the type attribute, which generates the following errors:
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'Dashboard.Web.Controlling.Account' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Source Error:
Line 78: <add name="SimpleRoleProvider"
Line 79: type="Dashboard.Web.Controlling.Account.SimpleRoleProvider,Dashboard.Web.Controlling.Account" />
Any suggestions on how I would be able to get this CustomRoleProvider working?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
