In a nutshell, you can control which provider is the "default" provider by
setting the "defaultProvider" property that is on the <membership>, <roles>,
<profile> elements in web.config. When you do this, then calls to:
Membership.ValidateUser(username, password)
And other methods on the Membership class will go to the default provider. You
can programmatically call another provider by accessing it via the "Providers"
collection on the Membership/Roles API. For example:
Membership.Providers["otherprovider"].ValidateUser(username,password)
Note that the "otherprovider" name is determined by the <add/> element in your
web.config file (where you give each provider a name).
Hope this helps,
Scott

You need to loop over System.Web.Security.Membership.Providers and
somehow find the provider you want, e.g. by checking its type and/or
some properties.
