ProfileProviderAttribute Class
Identifies the profile provider for a user-profile property.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
The ProfileProviderAttribute class is used to identify the profile provider for a property of a custom profile implementation. A custom profile implementation is a class that inherits from the ProfileBase abstract class and defines properties for the user profile that are not specified in the profile configuration element. You can specify a custom type for the user profile using the inherits attribute of the profile configuration element in the Web.config file for an application, as shown in the following example.
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="SqlServices" connectionString=
"Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;" />
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms" >
<forms loginUrl="login.aspx"
name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" />
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
<profile inherits="Samples.AspNet.Profile.EmployeeProfile"
defaultProvider="SqlProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<add
name="SqlProvider"
type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="SqlServices"
description="SQL Profile Provider for Sample"/>
<add
name="EmployeeInfoProvider"
type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="SqlServices"
description="SQL Profile Provider for Employee Info"/>
</providers>
<properties>
<add name="GarmentSize" />
</properties>
</profile>
</system.web>
</configuration>
The following code example defines a class that inherits from the ProfileBase class to create a custom profile. The type of the custom profile is specified in the inherits attribute of the profile configuration element in the Web.config file for an application.
