Aspnet web site administration tool, Users table or aspnet_users table

Question

Why do my users and roles end up in Users and Roles tables and not aspnet_users and aspnet_roles?

---

When I use the Aspnet web site administration tool (visualstudio->menu->project->aspnet configuration to add a user it ends up in the Users table; and new roles in the Roles table.

Everything I have read on the subject says aspnet_users and aspnnet_roles.

I am using aspnetmvc4 (beta), sqlserver2008r2, visualstudio2010. I have created the aspnet_xxx-tables in the database through aspnet_regsql.exe. I sniff sqlserver and get queries against Users and Roles. It even creates an Applications table.

As per request, the membership part of web.config:

<membership defaultProvider="DefaultMembershipProvider">
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add connectionStringName="DefaultConnection" enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
      enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
      requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" 
      minRequiredPasswordLength="6"
      minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10"
      applicationName="/"
         name="DefaultMembershipProvider"
         type="System.Web.Providers.DefaultMembershipProvider, System.Web.Providers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
  </providers>
</membership>

Answer 1

Old school ASP.NET 2.0+ providers (System.Web.XXX.SqlXXXProvider)
--> Uses the aspnet_Users and aspnet_Roles tables, via stored procs.

The new Universal Providers (System.Web.Providers.XXX)
--> Uses the Users and Roles tables, via (EF-generated?) SQL.
