TestMembershipProvider is not showing any error but TestUserProfile is showing the following error:

Could not load type 'Test.Library.UserAccountProvider.TestUserProfile' from assembly 'System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

on statement return (TestUserProfile)Create(username);

Answer 1

Maybe you should add the full assembly name (", Test.Library.UserAccountProvider") at the end of 'type' attribute of the line with name="TestProfileProvider" if its the location of your class ?

Like this :

  <add name="TestProfileProvider" type="Test.Library.UserAccountProvider.TestProfileProvider, Test.Library.UserAccountProvider" connectionStringName="SecurityContext" applicationName="Sigma" applicationContext="XpressPago" />

And the same for the 'inherits' attribute :

   <profile defaultProvider="TestProfileProvider" inherits="Test.Library.UserAccountProvider.TestUserProfile, Test.Library.UserAccountProvider">

I think Create does not where to pick the class since it tries in "System.Web".
Of course I suppose Test.Library.UserAccountProvider is the right assembly name, fix it if needed...
