You probably won't find much because application roles are not widely
used, especially in Web applications because you have to sacrifice
connection pooling to get them to work. See:
PRB: SQL Application Role Errors with OLE DB Resource Pooling
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q229564
This was written for ADO, but still applies to ADO.NET. Even if they
worked, you would still not want to use them even in a .NET Winforms
application because the application role password must be supplied by
your client code. Reading the IL of a compiled assembly is fairly
straightforward using the disassembler tool (ildasm.exe). Even if it's
not embedded in your code, the password must be stored *somewhere* on
the client, which makes it vulnerable.
