Question

I’m using linq to SQL along with asp.net membership provider. I have three roles set up but want to get only the users of a particular role. This is my query to return all users

  public IQueryable<aspnet_User> GetAllMembers()
  {
     return db.aspnet_Users.OrderByDescending(u => u.UserName);
  }

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

It looks like you need the same thing that was discussed here. Tvanfosson’s untested answer was the most upvoted:

var users = db.aspnet_Users
              .Where(u => u.Active)
              .Any(u => u.aspnet_UsersInRoles
                         .Any(r => r.aspnet_Roles.RoleName == "Auth Level 1" ));

According to the person who asked the question (John) this didn’t quite work for him so he ended up doing this instead:

var AuthUsers = from aspnet_User in db.aspnet_Users
                join userinroles in db.aspnet_UsersInRoles on aspnet_User.UserId equals userinroles.UserId
                where aspnet_User.Active 
                && userinroles.aspnet_Role.RoleName == "Auth Level 1"
                select aspnet_User;

Hopefully one of those two will work (please let us know which works for you).
