public class ProfileGroupBase
type ProfileGroupBase = class
Public Class ProfileGroupBase
Inheritance
ProfileGroupBase

Examples

The following Web.config file specifies a user profile that contains a group of properties with a group name of Address. The grouped properties generated for the Profile property of the current HttpContext will be preceded by the group name, for example, Profile.Address.Street. The second example shows an ASP.NET page that stores and retrieves the configured profile properties.

<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>

    <membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider"
      userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add
          name="SqlProvider"
          type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
          connectionStringName="SqlServices"
          enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
          enablePasswordReset="true"
          requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
          requiresUniqueEmail="false"
          passwordFormat="Hashed"
          applicationName="MyApplication" />
      </providers>
    </membership>

    <profile enabled="true" defaultProvider="SqlProvider">
      <providers>
        <add
          name="SqlProvider"
          connectionStringName="SqlServices"
          applicationName="MyApplication"
          type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" />
      </providers>

      <properties>
        <add name="ZipCode" />
        <group name="Address">
          <add name="Street" />
          <add name="City" />
          <add name="State" />
          <add name="CountryOrRegion" />
        </group>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

The following code example shows an ASP.NET page that reads and sets the grouped properties specified for the user profile.

Important

This example contains a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Remarks

The ProfileGroupBase class is used by ASP.NET to create grouped properties in the Profile property for the current HttpContext. When properties are specified as a group of properties using the group Element for properties for profile (ASP.NET Settings Schema), ASP.NET creates a new class with strongly typed accessors for each property in the group. The new class inherits the ProfileGroupBase base class. The strongly typed accessors of the new class call the GetPropertyValue and SetPropertyValue methods of the ProfileGroupBase base class to retrieve and set profile property values, respectively.

The ProfileGroupBase passes calls to get and set property values to the class that inherits the ProfileBase class that is supplied to the Init method of the ProfileGroupBase class. See the ProfileBase class for more information on behaviors, exceptions, and so on.

This class is not intended to be created from your code.
