Remarks

The RemoveUserFromRoles method calls the default role provider to remove the specified user from the specified roles at the data source.

If the application is configured to use the SqlRoleProvider class, the database updates that are performed during the call to the RemoveUserFromRoles method are made within a transaction. If an error is encountered, such as a user name that is not in a specified role, the transaction is rolled back and no updates are performed.
