Roles are handled by the role provider not the membership provider (for separation of authorisation from authentication).

So

string[] RoleProvider.GetUsersInRole(roleName)

Thx. Is there a way to map each string to a MemberShipuser? – Kenci Feb 06 '12 at 08:55
@Kenci use [`Membership.GetUser`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/40w5063z.aspx). – Richard Feb 06 '12 at 14:41

You need to use the Roles class defined in System.Web.Security. It has a Roles.GetUsersInRole method.

Here is the documentation.

If you want to map the returned username to a MembershipUser you can use Membership.GetUser(string username) method on each of the returned values.
