ASP.Net profile providers

humbert

Kind of leading on from a previous thread I started here a good while back.

I've implemented a custom profile provider and all the abstract methods.

I've then added it to the web config file and was expecting to be able to type Profile.PropertyName and assign it a value but when I type Profile they don't show up. Tried everything I can think of but can't get it to work.

Can anyone offer any suggestions.


Here's my web.config, in case there is anything obviously wrong.

Just off the top of my head, I think you would access them through a property on the Profile object, something like Profile.Properties["Property1"]. I suspect your Profile object is the base profile provider class, if you want to work with autocomplete you will need to define an object of your providers type and parse the Profile object into it

UserProfileProvider myProfileObj = (UserProfileProvider) Profile;
myProfileObj.Property1 = ... etc



That's just off the top of my head though, I'm probably very wrong
