If your application uses the SqlRoleProvider class, the database updates that are performed during the call to the AddUserToRoles method are made within a transaction. If an error is encountered, such as a user name that is already in a specified role, the transaction is rolled back and no updates are performed.

User names and role names cannot contain commas. |
