Remarks
The RemoveUsersFromRoles method is called by the Roles class to remove one or more users from one or more roles in the SQL Server database specified in the ASP.NET application's configuration file (Web.config). This method is called by the RemoveUserFromRole, RemoveUserFromRoles, RemoveUsersFromRole, and RemoveUsersFromRoles methods of the Roles class.
The database updates that are performed during the call to RemoveUsersFromRoles are made within a transaction. If an error is encountered, such as a user name that does not exist or a user name that is already in a specified role, the transaction is rolled back and no updates are performed.
User names and role names cannot contain commas.
