Question

I’m using Membership Provider in my ASP.NET MVC Application . I want to check a user is admin or not .

if (Membership.ValidateUser(model.UserName, model.Password))
    {
          ....
    }

ValidateUser gets only Username and Password , I want to add another field ( IsAdmin ) . how can I write this code ?!

As @jsalvy reminded me, you can just do this:

bool isUserAdmin = IsUserInRole(userName, "Admin");

The IsUserInRole will return true if the user is in the role or false if not. You can also use string[] userRoles = Roles.GetRolesForUser(userName); to get all the roles a user is in. And you can use the [Authorize(Roles = "Admin")] attribute to restrict access to anyone who is not an admin.
