Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
public class ProfileParameter : Parameter

The ProfileParameter type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method ProfileParameter() Initializes a new instance of the ProfileParameter class.
Protected method ProfileParameter(ProfileParameter) Initializes a new instance of the ProfileParameter class with the values of the instance specified by the original parameter.
Public method ProfileParameter(String, String) Initializes a new named instance of the ProfileParameter class, using the specified property name to identify which ASP.NET Profile property to bind to.
Public method ProfileParameter(String, DbType, String) Initializes a new instance of the ProfileParameter class, using the specified property name to identify which ASP.NET Profile property to bind to.
Public method ProfileParameter(String, TypeCode, String) Initializes a new named and strongly typed instance of the ProfileParameter class, using the specified property name to identify which ASP.NET Profile property to bind to.

  Name Description
Public property ConvertEmptyStringToNull Gets or sets a value indicating whether the value that the Parameter object is bound to should be converted to null if it is String.Empty. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Public property DbType Gets or sets the database type of the parameter. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Public property DefaultValue Specifies a default value for the parameter, should the value that the parameter is bound to be uninitialized when the Evaluate method is called. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Public property Direction Indicates whether the Parameter object is used to bind a value to a control, or the control can be used to change the value. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Protected property IsTrackingViewState Gets a value indicating whether the Parameter object is saving changes to its view state. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Public property Name Gets or sets the name of the parameter. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Public property PropertyName Gets or sets the name of the ASP.NET Profile property that the parameter binds to.
Public property Size Gets or sets the size of the parameter. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Public property Type Gets or sets the type of the parameter. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Protected property ViewState Gets a dictionary of state information that allows you to save and restore the view state of a Parameter object across multiple requests for the same page. (Inherited from Parameter.)

  Name Description
Protected method Clone Returns a duplicate of the current ProfileParameter instance. (Overrides Parameter.Clone().)
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Evaluate Updates and returns the value of the ProfileParameter object. (Overrides Parameter.Evaluate(HttpContext, Control).)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetDatabaseType Gets the DbType value that is equivalent to the CLR type of the current Parameter instance. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method LoadViewState Restores the data source view's previously saved view state. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method OnParameterChanged Calls the OnParametersChanged method of the ParameterCollection collection that contains the Parameter object. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Protected method SaveViewState Saves the changes to the Parameter object's view state since the time the page was posted back to the server. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Protected method SetDirty Marks the Parameter object so its state will be recorded in view state. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Public method ToString Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Protected method TrackViewState Causes the Parameter object to track changes to its view state so they can be stored in the control's ViewState object and persisted across requests for the same page. (Inherited from Parameter.)

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetation Private method ICloneable.Clone Returns a duplicate of the current Parameter instance. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private property IStateManager.IsTrackingViewState Infrastructure. Gets a value indicating whether the Parameter object is saving changes to its view state. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IStateManager.LoadViewState Infrastructure. Restores the data source view's previously saved view state. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IStateManager.SaveViewState Infrastructure. Saves the changes to the Parameter object's view state since the time the page was posted back to the server. (Inherited from Parameter.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IStateManager.TrackViewState Infrastructure. Causes the Parameter object to track changes to its view state so they can be stored in the control's ViewState object and persisted across requests for the same page. (Inherited from Parameter.)

You can use the ProfileParameter class to bind the value of an ASP.NET Profile parameter to a parameter used in a parameterized SQL query, business object method, or filtering expression.

The ProfileParameter class provides the PropertyName property in addition to those inherited from the Parameter class. The PropertyName property identifies the ASP.NET Profile property from which the ProfileParameter retrieves a value.

Note Note

Controls that bind data to the parameter might throw an exception if a ProfileParameter object is specified but no corresponding profile property is set. Similarly, they might display no data if the profile property is set with null. Set the DefaultValue property to avoid these situations where appropriate.
