I created a custom membership provider and am getting the following error trying to create a new "MembershipUser".
Could not load type 'MyTestApp.Membership.TestMembershipProvider' from assembly 'System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
I am running this from a Unit Test project, so I'm not sure if that's causing the issue, but I did include System.Web, System.Web.ApplicationServices as well as a reference to MyApp.Membership and MyApp.DataModels (Entity objects).
The error happens inside my "GetUser" function which is below, my configuration is also below.
public override MembershipUser GetUser(object providerUserKey, bool userIsOnline)
{
try
{
AccountEntities db = new AccountEntities();
if ((providerUserKey is Guid) == false)
{
return null;
}
User user = (from u in db.Users
where u.UserId == (Guid)providerUserKey
&& u.Application.LoweredApplicationName == this.ApplicationName.ToLower()
select u).FirstOrDefault();
if (user != null)
{ // ERROR: Starts here, user object is correct, data is all there.
return new MembershipUser(this.ProviderName, user.UserName, (object)user.UserId, user.Email, user.PasswordQuestion, user.Comment, user.IsApproved, user.IsLockedOut, user.CreateDate, user.LastLoginDate, user.LastActivityDate, user.LastPasswordChangedDate, user.LastLockoutDate);
}
else
return null;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this.WriteToEventLog(ex, "Unable to get user from object '{" + ((Guid)providerUserKey).ToString() + "}'.", "Get User");
return null;
}
}

<add name="TestMembershipProvider" type="MyTestApp.Membership.TestMembershipProvider"
applicationName="/"

minRequiredPasswordLength="8"
passwordAttemptWindow="30"

requiresUniqueEmail="true" />
</providers>
</membership>
</system.web>
</configuration>
I just noticed I missed the below part in the configuration
type="MyTestApp.Membership.TestMembershipProvider, MyTestApp.Membership"
Works now!
