ASP.NET and Identity 2.0 roles with VB

Question

I'm trying to build webpage with Microsoft Passport authentication. That works fine but how to use roles for authenticated users?

I have problems to understand how roles is working with 2.0.

I am able to create new role with Roles.CreateRole("TestRole") but if I have understand right it using Identity 1.0? at least it creates record to Roles table in database not AspNetRoles.

I think that I need to use RoleManager and UserManager ?

Any examples how to do that with VB.

Answer 1

For creating role use RoleManager and for assigning role to user Use UserManager .

RoleManager = New RoleManager(Of IdentityRole)(New RoleStore(Of IdentityRole)(New MyDbContext()))
Dim roleresult = RoleManager.Create(New IdentityRole(roleName))

UserManager.AddToRole(currentUser.Id, roleName)
