Question

following some example from Microsoft I created my custom MembershipProvider in my MVC application as

if (MembershipService == null) { MembershipService = new AccountMembershipService(new FcMembershipProvider()); }

and the web.config is configured as

<membership defaultProvider="FcMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
  <providers>
    <clear />

    <add
      name="FcMembershipProvider"
      type="Fc.Web.WebAppMVC.Models.FcMembershipProvider"
      connectionStringName="ApplicationServices"
      enablePasswordRetrieval="true"
      enablePasswordReset="true"
      applicationName="FcWebMVC"
      requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
      writeExceptionsToEventLog="false" />

  </providers>
</membership>

Problem is the Initialize method is not automatically called. any hint?

Thx

I think you need to get hold of your membership provider using the static Membership.Provider like so:

if (MembershipService == null) { MembershipService = new AccountMembershipService((FcMembershipProvider)Membership.Provider); }

(I put a cast in there which you may not need depending on what AccoundMembershipService is expecting.) This way ASP .NET’s membership system should initialize it for you.
