Default Public ReadOnly Property Item(name As String) As MembershipProvider

Parameters

name: String

The name of the membership provider.

Property Value

MembershipProvider

An object that inherits the MembershipProvider abstract class.

Examples

The following code example accesses a SqlMembershipProvider configured for an application from the Providers property of the Membership class by name.

SqlMembershipProvider p = (SqlMembershipProvider)Membership.Providers["SqlProvider"];
PasswordFormatLabel.Text = p.PasswordFormat.ToString();

Dim p As SqlMembershipProvider = CType(Membership.Providers("SqlProvider"), SqlMembershipProvider)
PasswordFormatLabel.Text = p.PasswordFormat.ToString()

Remarks

The membership providers for an application are exposed as a read-only MembershipProviderCollection by the Providers property of the Membership class. You can access a specific membership provider in the collection by name and cast it as the specific provider type, such as SqlMembershipProvider. This enables you to manage membership information from multiple data stores in a single application as well as access custom members of a membership provider that are not part of the MembershipProvider abstract class.
