ASP.NET MVC2 membership: how to get the user ID and roleID of the registered user?

Question

How can I get the user ID and roleID of the user registered in the application? User.Identity does not contain this data?

Answer 1

Here's how:

 string userId = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey.ToString(); string[] roleNames = Roles.GetRolesForUser(username); 

Answer 2

Another good way to find out:

 bool isAdmin = Roles.IsUserInRole("Admin"); 

Answer 3

You can also use this:

 List<String> roles = Roles.GetRolesForUser().ToList();
