	string name
] { get; }

Parameters

The UserName of the MembershipUser to retrieve from the collection.

Property Value

Type: System.Web.Security.MembershipUser
A MembershipUser object representing the user specified by name.

The MembershipUser object returned by Item property contains a snapshot of user information in the membership data store. That is, changes to the membership user information in the MembershipUserCollection are not reflected in the membership data store.

The following code example displays all membership user names in a ListBox and shows specific membership information for the selected user name.
