Get a specific membership provider

Question

Is there a way to get a specific membership provider?

When you call the static Membership methods, they request any provider that you configured as defaultProvider . Is it possible to get a link to a specific provider configured in your web.config and request only for that provider?

Answer 1

Yes, if you have several providers configured in your web.config, you can view them by name.

 MembershipProvider membershipProvider = Membership.Providers["foo"];
