SPClaimsAuthMembershipProvider casting error
Thu, 12/23/2010 - 22:01
Hi,
If like me you experienced the above error, don't lose time wondering what the hell is going on. When you use FBA, once the FBA authentication gets completed, a SPCLaim token is issued and that's why, the following line of code (usual in 2007):
would throw the following invalid cast error:
Unable to cast object of type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims.SPClaimsAuthMembershipProvider to ...
You could of course workaround this exception by using this syntax:
but you would end up with a NULL value in return.
So, the solution is just to target your FBA provider like this:
and it's likely to work better :).
Happy coding!
