Roles are handled by the role provider not the membership provider (for separation of authorisation from authentication).

So

string[] RoleProvider.GetUsersInRole(roleName)

(msdn).

You need to use the Roles class defined in System.Web.Security. It has a Roles.GetUsersInRole method.

Here is the documentation.

If you want to map the returned username to a MembershipUser you can use Membership.GetUser(string username) method on each of the returned values.
