System.Web.Profile Namespace

.NET Framework 2.0
The System.Web.Profile namespace contains classes that are used to implement the ASP.NET user profile in Web server applications.

The ASP.NET profile is used to store and retrieve user settings in a data source such as a database. Profile information and property values are managed using a profile provider and can be stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database using the SqlProfileProvider class, or in a custom data source using an implementation of the ProfileProvider abstract class.

The ASP.NET profile is configured using the profile configuration section.

When an application that has the user profile enabled is started, ASP.NET creates a new class of type ProfileCommon, which inherits from the ProfileBase class. Strongly typed accessors are added to the ProfileCommon class for each property defined in the profile configuration section. An instance of the ProfileCommon class is set as the value of the Profile property of the current HttpContext object. You can create a custom profile implementation that inherits from the ProfileBase abstract class and defines properties for the user profile that are not specified in the profile configuration element.
