Remarks

ASP.NET uses the ProfileBase class to create the class for the user profile. When an application that has the user profile enabled is started, ASP.NET creates a new class of type ProfileCommon, which inherits from the ProfileBase class. Strongly typed accessors are added to the ProfileCommon class for each group and property defined in the profile Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema) configuration section. The strongly typed accessors of the ProfileCommon class call the GetPropertyValue method to retrieve untyped values from the ProfileProvider that the generated accessor then casts as the specified type and returns as the grouped property value.

You can use the GetPropertyValue method to retrieve grouped property values of the user profile for your application by name. Returned values are typed as object and must be cast as the specific object type when retrieved. For strongly typed access to profile property values, you can access the grouped property by name as a member of a group of the Profile property, for example, Profile.Address.City.
