Examples

The following 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 profile 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 SettingsAllowAnonymousAttribute class overview.

using System;
using System.Web.Profile;

namespace Samples.AspNet.Profile
{
  public class EmployeeProfile : ProfileBase
  {
    [SettingsAllowAnonymous(false)]
    [ProfileProvider("EmployeeInfoProvider")]
    public string Department
    {
      get { return base["EmployeeDepartment"].ToString(); }
      set { base["EmployeeDepartment"] = value; }
    }

    [SettingsAllowAnonymous(false)]
    [ProfileProvider("EmployeeInfoProvider")]
    public EmployeeInfo Details
    {
      get { return (EmployeeInfo)base["EmployeeInfo"]; }
      set { base["EmployeeInfo"] = value; }
    }
  }

  public class EmployeeInfo
  {
    public string Name;
    public string Address;
    public string Phone;
    public string EmergencyContactName;
    public string EmergencyContactAddress;
    public string EmergencyContactPhone;
  }
}

Imports System.Web.Profile

Namespace Samples.AspNet.Profile

  Public Class EmployeeProfile
    Inherits ProfileBase

    <SettingsAllowAnonymous(False)> _
    <ProfileProvider("EmployeeInfoProvider")> _
    Public Property Department As String
      Get
        Return MyBase.Item("EmployeeDepartment").ToString()
      End Get
      Set
        MyBase.Item("EmployeeDepartment") = value
      End Set
    End Property

    <SettingsAllowAnonymous(False)> _
    <ProfileProvider("EmployeeInfoProvider")> _
    Public Property Details As EmployeeInfo
      Get
        Return CType(MyBase.Item("EmployeeInfo"), EmployeeInfo)
      End Get
      Set
        MyBase.Item("EmployeeInfo") = value
      End Set
    End Property
  End Class

  Public Class EmployeeInfo
    Public Name As String
    Public Address As String
    Public Phone As String
    Public EmergencyContactName As String
    Public EmergencyContactAddress As String
    Public EmergencyContactPhone As String
  End Class

End Namespace

Remarks

The SettingsAllowAnonymousAttribute class is used to identify whether a property of a custom profile implementation can be accessed if the user is an anonymous user. For information about enabling anonymous identification, see the anonymousIdentification configuration element.

If no SettingsAllowAnonymousAttribute is specified for a profile property, anonymous access to the profile property is not allowed.

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 profile configuration element.
