title: Custom MembershipProvider Initialize method
body: <p>When overriding the MembershipProvider and calling it directly, is there a way to fill the NameValueCollection config parameter of the Initialize method without manually looking through the config file for the settings?  </p>
  
  <p>Obviously this Initialize is being called by asp.net and the config is being filled somewhere. I have implemented my own MembershipProvider and it works fine through the build in controls.
  I would like to create a new instance of my provider and make a call to it directly, but I don't really want to parse the .config for the MembershipProvider, it's connection string name and then the connection string if it's already being done somewhere.</p>
