Getting all users and their roles (membership and roles) with Linq2Sql, right query?

Well, using the direct approach by querying the database will work. However, you are completely bypassing Membership and all the functionality it offers.

Yes there is. You have basically translated the SQL query to LINQ and forgotten that in LINQ you can navigate properties (i.e. User.

Role) which results in automatic joins.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
