Remarks
If you want to get a list of all roles, both from the Roles provider and virtual roles, use this method since it will filter out any duplicates caused by overloading role names from virtual roles.

Returns

|---|---|
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String> | A list of roles that match the roleName |
Remarks
Matching of role names is simply a substring check - if the role contains the string passed in roleName anywhere in the string, it is considered a match. A Null or empty roleName will return all roles.
If you want to get a list of roles from the Roles provider and virtual roles, use this method since it will filter out any duplicates caused by overloading role names from virtual roles. I e if you have a virtual role named "Administrators" and Roles.GetAllRoles() contains an entry named "Administrators" the final enumerator returned by this method will only contain a single reference to the "Administrators" name.
