How do I get access to my custom strong-named properties of the common profile (page.profile) in ASP.NET for a classes that does not derive from page? I thought I could just pass in httpcontext.profile but I'm missing the custom properties.
There should be some class type that I can pass in? It appears the class type is ProfileCommon and is auto-generated.
We have added some custom profile properties to the web.config - what we want to do is have the code access them once (when user logs in) and cache this so that the code doesn't have to hit the database each time we call Profile.<our custom profile property name>
What we see is a call to GetProperties or GetProfile each time we access Profile. <our custom profile property name> - whats the recommended way to do this?
We've been using the custom SQL table profile provider offered on the MSDN site.No problem configuring the new provider and saving profile values into our custom table while using the Create User Wizard.However, we cannot seem to be able to display the profile properties, using
[Code]....
The user is logged in, and there are no problems displaying all membership values and role values.
In my ASP.NET application I am using a lot of ObjectDataSource controls. I want to set the following three properties globally for all ObjectDataSource controls:
EnableCaching="true"
I have set up the Profile correctly in the web.config file, however I can not use them in the Home Controller.ie: I have a property called FirstName I can not fetch that property and or set a value to it.I added System.Web.

I am working in a Silverlight 4 + RIA Services application. On the server side I am using Entity Framework and SQL Server. The user authentication is performed in the application using the default ASP.NET Membership Provider.
I am also using some profile properties to store some user preferences. Unfortunately I came across a situation where I have to change one of this properties in all users.
Altought I am using EF to manage data persistence, the ASP Membership provider tables are not in my entities diagram, since everything I must do regarding membership is performed using the objects available on the provider.
So I was thinking to use this objects to change the user prefrences, but my question is about what happens if something fails? Is there any transaction object I could use on the Membership objects to perform an atomic operation?
I know EF supports transactions, but in this case I would have to add the asp.net membership tables to my diagram.. only for that operation.
I want to use Profile Properties to keep some user information and move them between pages. I'm wondering if those profile properties are keeping data session based or when I assigned them is it same for all sessions/ Is this a safe method to use them:
<anonymousIdentification enabled="true"/>
<profile enabled="true">
<properties>
<add name="userid" defaultValue="" />
<add name="password" defaultValue="" />
<add name="username" defaultValue="" />
</properties>
</profile>
i have defined profile properties in my web config file but unable to access them in code behind. even profile object is not available. i have to writer fully qualified name like System.Web.Profile. below is my web config
<profile>
I am using my aspnet membership for storing user profile related information in the database and I am looking for a way to access that information out of database from a function like Member.GetProfile. I am just wondering of any of the membership classes give thet functionality that I can actually access the information out of Membership database.
Somebody suggested me follwowing thread:

I am "Profile" object is not recognized in my code I think they are trying to refer to some some instance of a class here by the word Profile but I am not sure what instance is that.
I have made a composite control that has 1 Label Control ,1 TextBox ,1 button and 1 Panel Control. Below is my code:
namespace ServerControl1
{
[
AspNetHostingPermission(SecurityAction.Demand,[code]....
The above code compiles without any error. Also I can drag and drop this control from the Toolbox of my Project on my web form. However I am unable the change the value of my fromLabel control.It allows me to change the value in the properties window.But when I run the form it always shows me its default value which is "From". I want it to be flexible so that any one can change the value in the properties window.
Why custom Gridview control not render html properlies under <Columns> properly in Visual Studio 2005?
For example:
[code]....
I have a custom control which inherit from the Table class and in the constructor, it takes a an integer as an argument. There is no empty constructor.
Is there a way for the user to set that variable in the properties window after they drag the control onto a form.
I know some .NET controls, you can set the source for the parameter to different things like another control's property, QueryString using just the properties window.
Right now, I have to create the control dynamically. I read the query string and then created the object.
I know you can add defaultValues using the web.config like this:
<profile>
<properties>
<add name="AreCool" type="System.Boolean" defaultValue="False" />
</properties>
</profile>
but I have the Profile inherited from a class:
<profile inherits="CustomProfile" defaultProvider="CustomProfileProvider" enabled="true">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="CustomProfileProvider" type="CustomProfileProvider" />
</providers>
</profile>
Heres the class:
Public Class CustomProfile
Inherits ProfileBase
Public Property AreCool() As Boolean
Get
Return Me.GetPropertyValue("AreCool")
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Boolean)
Me.SetPropertyValue("AreCool", value)
End Set
End Property
End Class
I don't know how to set the default value of the property. Its causing errors because without a default value, it uses an empty string, which cannot be converted to a Boolean. I tried adding <DefaultSettingValue("False")> _ but that didn't seem to make a difference.
I'm also using a custom ProfileProvider (CustomProfileProvider).
I am trying to use: [URL] I have downloaded the converted to VB files and inserted them in my app_code folder. I created the SQL table and ran both SQL stored procedures Now for the web.config, I already have a connection to my database for the aspnet memberships since I have it on my own database, so I used that for the connection and I did this:
[Code]....
But I get run time errors when I try to set a profile. The error I get is in the SqlTableProfileProvider.vb and it says "Incorrect syntax near ','." Which is really not enough information but that is all what it gives me
<profile defaultProvider="TableProfileProvider">
<providers>
<add name="TableProfileProvider"
type="SqlTableProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="LocalSQLServer"
table="UserProfile"
applicationName="DatabaseProfileProviderTest"/>
<add name="StoredProcedureProfileProvider"
type="SqlStoredProcedureProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="LocalSQLServer"
setProcedure="setCustomProfileData"
readProcedure="getCustomProfileData"........................
I created the Table Profile Provider with the VB.NET and it works perfectly but I have one issue with it.. My Table (UserProfile) can't be linked with any other tables because the UserID on userprofile is different than any other table yet when I do profile.firstname on the vb code it works perfectly. Say for example I have a username called john If I do select * from aspnet_users where username = 'john' The results would come to 2 rows, 1 which has a userid and applicationid that is used on ALL the tables in my database EXCEPT for userprofile The second one would have a applicationid and userid that is only use on my userprofile table.
View 1 RepliesI would like to insert a user's selection of their organization (from a drpt down list) int their profile during the "Create new user" process.

I'm getting the following error when trying to save a custom class within my ArrayList within my user profile:
There was an error generating the XML document. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The type Com.xxx.MyDataClass was not expected. Use the XmlInclude or SoapInclude attribute to specify types that are not known statically.
My web.config has something like:
<profile enabled="true" automaticSaveEnabled="false" defaultProvider="xxxxxxProvider">
<properties>
<add name="MyData" type="System.Collections.ArrayList"/>
</properties>
</profile>
I am trying to store my class called (something like) MyDataClass in an ArrayList into MyData. When I save I get the error above. The class MyDataClass has just two members for now, both set as 'string'.
I assume I have to tell the class has to serialize itself but I'm not sure how.
Here's the class:
namespace Com.xxxx.DataClasses
{
public class MyDataClass : ISerializable
{
public string elem1;
public string elem2;
public string Elem1
{
get { return elem1; }
set { elem1 = value; }
}
public string Elem2
{
get { return elem2; }
set { elem2 = value; }
}
....
UPDATE: FIXED
I was able to fix this issue via the following:
First of all here is a good resource: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d8b58y5d.aspx
I changed the profile entries to be:
<profile enabled="true" automaticSaveEnabled="false" defaultProvider="xxxxxxProvider">
<properties>
<add name="MyData" type="mypackage.MyDataClass" serializeAs="binary"/>
</properties>
</profile>
and then I created MyDataClass to contain a List<> of MyDataClassInfo objects similar to:
namespace Com.xxxx.DataClasses
{
[Serializable]
public class MyDataClass
{
List<MyDataClassInfo> myDataClassInfo;
public MyDataClassInfo()
{
myDataClassInfo = new List<MyDataClassInfo>;
}
public List<MyDataClassInfo> MyDataClassInfo
{
get;
set;
}
}
[Serializable]
public class MyDataClassInfo
{
public string elem1;
public string elem2;
public string Elem1
{
get { return elem1; }
set { elem1 = value; }
}
public string Elem2
{
get { return elem2; }
set { elem2 = value; }
}
....
The key here was 1) using the serializeAt="binary" and 2) using a class which contained a list instead of a list within the profile.
I've been experimenting with the ASP.NET profile system and I like how easy it is to add data to the profile programmatically and how to access it again, all in a single line.
However, I've see the input that it sticks in the database and I'm not too keen on it.
I'd really like to create my own separate tables, so everything is nice and logical and easy to access, but I'd still like to be able to access this "profile" data as easily as I could with the ASP.Net profile system.
Should I create some kind of class in a separate class file that does all the hard work, then I can access the information from intellisense?
I have been struggling to save custom property data into member using createuserwizard. I add some extra fields into createuserwizard using wizardsteps and What I would like to accomplish is to save extra data of that fields and see that data on admin backend of member section of umbraco cms.
What I have done so far in brief:
Created a user control using asp.net createuserwizard and save it to umbraco.
I also added a macro into usercontrol which pulls its data from dropdown list multiple render control data type which has some prevalues.
After selecting values and creating user, none of the selected values of dropdown list multiple render control data type are selected on admin backend but address are successfully saved.
Code behind file:Roles.AddUserToRole(UserName.Text, "BasicUsers");var profile = System.Web.Profile.ProfileBase.Create(UserName.Text);profile["sector"] = Sector.SelectedItem.Value;profile["address"] = Address.Text;profile.Save();
That relevant code snippet above works well like profile["address"] = Address.Text; but I am unable to save with other renders controls as Dropdown list multiple.
I'm still trying to learn how all of this works, and I apologize if this is a simple fix, but I'm getting frustrated and I could use some help.
I found an XML profile provider that I'm trying to use, and when I set it up, it works fine on my local machine. However when I upload it to the server, I get an error and I don't really know what it means:

The week of torture and confusion at a higher level.I added a custom profile provider.
<profile defaultProvider="MySqlProfileProvider">
<providers>
<remove name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider"/>[code]...
I had to add the <remove name="MySqlProfileProvider"/>as it error with "the entry MySqlProfileProvider has already been made."The problem now is that it will only hold the data the first time I log in and create the account. Everything run find until you close the browser and try to log in the next time. Then the pages that use the profile properties tells me that there is no profile data for the same fields like there name for this user.It was there the first time and save it but the 2nd login it gone. Seems to me that the remove actually removes the data even when you save itI got it to work on the local server by setting MySqlProfileProvider up in using IIS managment tools. My local now rund fine. However my service provider will not make the manual entry for me.
I am using asp.net 3.5 and Oracle Providers for membership and roles. Now, using CreateUserWizard i can make user register here but for storing custom information like First name, last name, address etc. i am using couple of custom oracle tables instead of Oracle Profile Provider. In this case, i am using the USERID field which is of GUID type as primary key. Now, my problem is that i dont know how to draw information from my custom oracle tables for those users who are currently logged in. I have searched a lot in this forum and elsewhere where there are many topics relating to it but i failed to follow any of them. So, i would request you to kindly guide me to solve the issue. Oracle Membership
Table(ORA_ASPNET_USERS) USERID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(some guid value) Username=abc and so on.. My Custom Table(UserProfile): USERID RAW(16), --> referenced to USERID field of ORA_ASPNET_USERS table fname varchar2(20) lname varchar2(20) I've the profiles of username "abc" having some userid stored in Userprofile table So, how can i fetch data from UserProfile table for the user "abc" when he is logged in?
I am trying to use a second (custom) table to extend my users profile info. This table is in the same database as the 'aspnet_Users' table but has a different name. I create a FK relationship between the 'aspnet_Users' table and my custom table. Here is my web.config code:
<profile defaultProvider="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="ConString_SQLConnectionString"
applicationName="/" />
<add name="MyCustomProfile"
type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="ConString_SQLConnectionString"
applicationName="/"
table="MyProfileTable_Employees" />
</providers>
<properties>
<group name ="MyProfileInfo">
<add name="FirstName" type="string" defaultValue="[null]" customProviderData="FirstName;nvarchar" provider="MyCustomProfile" />
<add name="LastName" type="string" defaultValue="[null]" customProviderData="LastName;nvarchar" provider="MyCustomProfile" />
<add name="EmployeeNumber" type="int" defaultValue="[null]" customProviderData="EmployeeNumber;int" provider="MyCustomProfile" />
</group>
</properties>
</profile>
I have the table "MyProfileTable_Employees" poplulated with data the 'userid' matches to the aspnet_Users table. In my web application (vb), when I type in Profile.MyProfileInfo, there are no custom fields. Actually, when I type profile., there are no profile related entries. What am I missing here? Am I miss-interpting what a custom profile provider is?
