Public Property Profile As ProfileBase

Property Value

ProfileBase

The user profile to use for the current request. The default is null.

Examples

The following code example shows the Personalize event declared in the Global.asax file for an application. The event code loads a user profile based on role membership.

public void Profile_Personalize(object sender, ProfileEventArgs args)
{
  ProfileCommon userProfile;

  if (User == null) { return; }

  userProfile = (ProfileCommon)ProfileBase.Create(User.Identity.Name);

  if (User.IsInRole("Administrators"))
    userProfile = userProfile.GetProfile("Administrator");
  else
    if (User.IsInRole("Users"))
      userProfile = userProfile.GetProfile("User");
    else
      userProfile = userProfile.GetProfile("Guest");

  if (userProfile != null)
    args.Profile = userProfile;
}

Public Sub Profile_Personalize(sender As Object, args As ProfileEventArgs)
  Dim userProfile As ProfileCommon

  If User Is Nothing Then Return

  userProfile = CType(ProfileBase.Create(User.Identity.Name), ProfileCommon)

  If User.IsInRole("Administrators") Then
    userProfile = userProfile.GetProfile("Administrator")
  Else
    If User.IsInRole("Users") Then
      userProfile = userProfile.GetProfile("User")
    Else
      userProfile = userProfile.GetProfile("Guest")
    End If
  End If

  If Not userProfile Is Nothing Then _
    args.Profile = userProfile
End Sub

Remarks

You can use the Profile property during the Personalize event to specify a custom user profile. If, when the Personalize event completes, the ProfileEventArgs parameter of the ProfileEventHandler has its Profile property set to a value that's not null, then the ProfileModule uses the value of the Profile property in the current HttpContext.

Note

The ProfileModule does not set the Profile property for the Personalize event. The ProfileModule only gets the value of the Profile property when the code in the Personalize event completes. If the ProfileEventArgs.Profile property is not explicitly set by application code during the Personalize event, the Profile property value will be null.
