Remarks

If CacheRolesInCookie is true and role names have been cached for the user represented by the RolePrincipal, then the GetRoles method will return the list of role names in the cache that the user is a member of. If role names have not been cached, then the GetRoles method returns the list of role names that the user is a member of from the default role Provider. Only role names for the current ApplicationName are returned. To determine whether role names have been cached in the RolePrincipal object, check the IsRoleListCached property.
