The links above don't seem to work any more.  Any idea where we can find the white paper?

Hmm....well, they seem to be back - never mind.

The [Provider Model] another great feature of ASP.Net. Great job on the whitepaper. I'm building a custom provider for menu and navigation for my site.

<br>

<br>Great explanation on the &quot;gotchas&quot; and sections in the web.config. I was able to create a &quot;sanity check&quot; service provider in a few hours.

Jeff -

<br>I recently created a Visual Studio template file for RoleProviders, based on this white paper:

<br>I would really appreciate your feedback, and would be glad to accomodate any requests you may have regarding the content or acknowledgements. I definitely want it to be clear that I am not the author of the guidance, I just put it into a form that was easier for me to consume. You did a great job on the paper, and I don't want to take any of the credit.

I am trying to use a custom provider. I created a class library that has my custom provider. It is similar to the custom provider in chapter 8.

<br>I have another web application that needs to use the custom provider.

<br>I have configured the web applications web.config to use the custom provider.

<br>How would I know if the custom provider was loaded via the web.config?

<br>I tried to setup break points everywhere in class library and check this. The break point never get hit.

<br>How do I get the custom provider functionality in the web application.

<br>I would appreciate if somebody help me in this.

<br>Thanks a ton.
