ASP.NET built in user profile vs. old style user class/tables

Question

I am looking for guidance regarding the best practice around the use of the Profile feature in ASP.NET.

How do you decide what should be kept in the built-in user Pr

Answer 1

user profile is a nice clean framework for individual customization(AKA. Profile Properties). (e.g. iGoogle) the problem of it is its not designed for query and not ideal for data sharing to public user.(you still would be able to do it, with low performance)

so, if you want to enhance the customized user experience, user profile would be a good way to go. otherwise, use your own class and table would be a much better solution.
