Just published a web site to a host provider with SQL Server 2005. SqlRoleProvider.CreateRole procedure give me the following error:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Here's my code to support this procedure:
"Partial Class RoleAdd
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    Dim strRoleName As String
    Dim RP As New SqlRoleProvider

    Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        strRoleName = TextBox1.Text
        RP.CreateRole(strRoleName)
    End Sub
End Class"

Note my below is a snippet of my web.config file
"<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="SqlRoleManager" >
      <providers>
        <add name="SqlRoleManager"
             type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider"
             connectionStringName="rumisg3ConnectionString"
             applicationName="rumisg3" />
      </providers>
    </roleManager>"


Supposedly the Aspnet_resql.exe was run (appears it was I I can see the tables in VS server explorer).

Any help here would be appreciated.
