Custom RoleProvider notes

I finally completed my custom RoleProvider that uses NHibernate to retrieve data from the database. Below I have listed my notes on this topic.

Issue: My RoleProvider would not work if I overrode the default constructor.
Solution: Override the Initialize method and put your code there instead.

Issue: The RoleProvider class cannot access HttpContext.Current.Session.
Solution: There really isn't a solution. It's just a fact.
