'Roles' does not contain a definition for 'RoleExists'

[Arjen]

What does this mean?
'Roles' does not contain a definition for 'RoleExists'

I'm doing this:
using System.Web.Security;
Roles.DeleteRole(txtRolename.Text.Trim());

I don't see what's wrong.

Hope someone can help,
Arjen

Correct, over 2 or 3 months it is part of the last release (if they don't
change anything).

The samples are here:
http://beta.asp.net/QUICKSTART/util/srcview.aspx?path=~/aspnet/samples/security/Add_Delete_Roles.src

I do the same thing... but get this error. ;-(

Now it works with the complete name...
System.Web.Security.Roles.DeleteRole(txtRolename.Text.Trim());

Strange...

Hi Arjen,

I think is does contain the definition for the same. I developed an
application where in I checked if it role already existed I prompted the same
else created a new role.

if (!Roles.RoleExists(txtBoxRole.Text))
{
// Create Role
Roles.CreateRole(txtBoxRole.Text);
// Bind the list box again after creating the role
LstBoxDBind ();
//Displaying the message for role creation
lblMessage.Visible = true;
lblMessage.Text = "Role : '" + Server.HtmlEncode(txtBoxRole.Text.ToString())
+ "' created.";
txtBoxRole.Text = "";
}

I hope my understanding is correct of your issue
