The name of a provider from the ProfileSection.Providers property, or an empty string (""). The default is an empty string.

Profile providers are data sources in which user-profile values are stored. You can specify profile providers in the providers subsection of the profile section of a configuration file.

If the value of this property is an empty string, the default provider specified in the ProfileSection.DefaultProvider property is used.

The following code example shows how to use the Provider property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ProfileSection class.

Console.WriteLine(
    "Current ProviderName value: '{0}'", profilePropertySettings.Provider);

// Set the ProviderName property to "AspNetSqlRoleProvider".
profilePropertySettings.Provider = "AspNetSqlRoleProvider";
