Creating Roles in Asp.net Identity MVC 5

Question

There is very little documentation about using the new Asp.net Identity Security Framework.

I have pieced together what I could to try and create a new Role and add

Answer 1

My application was hanging on startup when I used Peter Stulinski & Dave Gordon's code samples with EF 6.0. I changed:

var roleManager = new RoleManager(new RoleStore(new ApplicationDbContext()));

to

var roleManager = new RoleManager(new RoleStore(**context**));

Which makes sense when in the seed method you don't want instantiate another instance of the ApplicationDBContext. This might have been compounded by the fact that I had Database.SetInitializer(new ApplicationDbInitializer()); in the constructor of ApplicationDbContext
