I seem to not be using the IsInRole function correctly - can anybody tell me what is wrong with the code posted below

as you can see by the highlight i never have a user in the role Quality Manager even though i can look at the user tables

and see that at least one user is -------------------------------

Dim TotalUsers As Integer
                Dim MyUserList As ArrayList
                MyUserList = UserController.GetUsersByProfileProperty(PortalId, "CompanyID", CompanyID.ToString, 0, 99999, TotalUsers)
                For Each UserItem As UserInfo In MyUserList
                    Dim myUser As UserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUser(PortalId, UserItem.UserID, True)

                    If myUser.IsInRole("Quality Manager") = True Then
                        Response.Write("<br>got here" & myUser.DisplayName)
                      With BQ9000_ this is the quality manager alert
                            .Link = NavigateURL()
                            .Message = "A Corrective Action has been created and assigned."
                            .UserID = myUser.UserID
                        End With
                        Throwaway = objBQ9000Control.BQ9000_AddAlert(BQ9000_Alert)
                    Else
                        Response.Write("<br>got here but bad" & myUser.DisplayName) <-------------ALWAYS GET HERE
                    End If
                Next

The problem is that the Roles property never gets populated with an array of the role names for the user - except for the currently logged in user when obtained via Me.UserInfo, etc. - and even then not reliably.  With an empty Roles array, IsInRole always returns false. I've been doing the following (where myUser is your UserInfo object ):

Dim rc As New DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController
myUser.Roles = rc.GetRolesByUser(myUser.UserId, PortalId)
If myUser.IsInRole("Paid Member") Then
    'Do whatever here for the Paid Member
End If
