Creating Web Sites for Individual Users (Visual Studio)

Visual Studio 2005

You can provide users with a custom experience in your Web site by defining and using profile properties, which you can use to track user information (address, city), preferences (color scheme, list of stocks to follow), or any custom information required by your application (shopping cart). Once you have defined profile properties, ASP.NET automatically associates individual instances of the profile properties with each user, and you can use code to set or get the values. ASP.NET persists property values in a data store (which you can configure), and the next time a user visits your site, ASP.NET automatically retrieves the profile property value for that user.
