The name of the profile provider for the property.
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 configuration element.
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 configuration element in the Web.config file for an application. For an example of a configuration file that specifies a custom profile implementation, see the ProfileProviderAttribute class overview.
