RE: I feel it makes sense NOT to use custom membership & role provider

Whatever "floats your boat". Sometimes if you already have a custom setup
that doesn't lend well to the existing providers, it may be better to roll
your own.

We have tables of logins (users), that differs much from standard

fields, etc. But instead we have several additional fields.

I expanded membership class and it works for logging in, but going
further - creating user - I must make following in CreateUserWizard
template:

1) create 'users' record filling standard microsoft fields and ignore
those I don't use (mentioned above), i.e. put nulls, "", mindate,
etc...
2) update this record, initializing it with MY fields

So, one db operation operation is splitted. It looks ugly...

Concerning role provider: they offer user2role with userName and
roleName fields! But in this case I don't have relationship between
tables, because userName is not a primary key in users table (ID is,
but ID is integer).

I've decided to make custom login control and NOT to use custom
membership provider and role provider.

I ~hope~ it's correct decision. But I'd like to hear objections, until
it's too late :) and good article about further process... maybe there
is one from the person who took the same decision. Is there much work
to go without standard login control and provider? Would it be good to
have classes similar to the one I've already made as custom providers?
Maybe I could just change them and adopt for use as NOT provider-
classes?
