Parameters

authenticationOption

One of the ProfileAuthenticationOption enumeration values, specifying whether anonymous, authenticated, or both types of profiles are deleted.

userInactiveSinceDate

A DateTime that identifies which user profiles are considered inactive. If the LastActivityDate of a user profile occurs on or before this date and time, the profile is considered inactive.

Return Value

The number of profiles deleted from the data source.

The DeleteInactiveProfiles method is used to remove unused profile data from the data source for the application specified by the applicationName attribute in the configuration file. Use the authenticationOption parameter to specify whether you want only anonymous profiles, only authenticated profiles, or all profiles to be searched. Of the searched profiles, any profile with a LastActivityDate that occurs on or before the specified userInactiveSinceDate parameter value is deleted.

The DeleteInactiveProfiles method calls the DeleteInactiveProfiles method of the default profile provider. The default profile provider is specified using the defaultProvider attribute of the profile configuration element. If the user profile contains properties that are managed by a profile provider other than the default provider, the profile information in the other data source is not deleted. To delete inactive profiles that are managed by a profile provider other than the default provider, obtain a reference to the profile provider using the Providers property and call the DeleteInactiveProfiles method of the provider directly.

The following code example shows an ASP.NET page that manages inactive profiles. A button is provided to delete all profiles that have been unused for the specified number of days and are therefore considered inactive.

Security noteSecurity Note:

This example contains a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview (Visual Studio).
