Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7

Hi there! I replaced the default MembershipProvider with a custom one. During debugging I can see that the query that is executed from my custom MembersRepository class is returning result from the default DB(DB1) which keeps the content of my installation.

Here is my Web.config

ConnectionString:

<connectionStrings>
<remove name="umbracoDbDSN" />
<add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="server=random.database.windows.net;database=DB1;user id=ADMIN;password='*****'" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="membersDb" connectionString="server=random.database.windows.net;database=DB2;user id=ADMIN;password='*****'" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

And the membership:

 <membership defaultProvider="UmbracoMembershipProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
  <providers>
    <clear />
    <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="ProjectS.Models.CustomMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="membersDb" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" minRequiredPasswordLength="4" useLegacyEncoding="false" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Member" passwordFormat="Hashed" allowManuallyChangingPassword="true"/>
    <add name="UsersMembershipProvider" type="Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.UsersMembershipProvider" />
  </providers>
</membership>

How am I supposed to give to the UmbracoMembershipProvider in my web.config spare connection string so it can take from DB2?

After made checks: there was no property named connectionStringName in the class MembersMembershipProvider or it's base classes so I had to force it:
```
 public MembersRepository()
 {
        _db = new UmbracoDatabase("membersDb");
 }
```
I am pretty sure it would be much better code if I extended my membership provider and added the connection string name through configuration.
