asp.net-profiles

any idea how I can get user FirstName and LastName from the aspnet_profile table based on UserID using SQL becasue I would like to use in Telerik Reporting as a user parameter.

I am using the Profile feature of ASP.NET in a website. Updating a profile is working weirdly! A user can't update his/her own profile, neither the web site user nor the administrator, but, the administrator is able to update profiles of other users. In the backend, after Profile's save() is called, SQL Server traces show that aspnet_Profile_SetProperties stored procedure is called twice. First, with new values, then, with old values. The second execution is done after page unload. My code has nothing to do with transactions. Why is it working so weirdly? Could there be an issue with aspnet

I have an MVC3 site and I am writing code to register a user. The code does this: MembershipCreateStatus createStatus; Membership.CreateUser(model.UserName, model.Password, model.Email, null, null, true, null, out createStatus); The next thing it does is this: HttpContext.Profile["FirstNAme"] = model.FirstName; HttpContext.Profile["LastName"] = model.LastName; This is where it fails. The error I get is: This property cannot be set for anonymous users. I understand why; it is because there is no user logged in or no user specified, so of course I can't set the profile for the user. I am working

I recently asked this question How to persist anon user selection (ex: theme selection) . and started to learn about ASP.NET profiles and their properties in the web config. I tried the answer from the link but i was unable to access profile.newproperty How to assign Profile values? This question specifies that web-applications don't support profile out of the box and a custom model based on ProfileBase must be created. The question was answered in 2009 and I wanted to know if this is still the same case. In a ASP.NET 4.0 web application can I access profile.newproperty with a property i

In asp.net (using MVC, but this happens in regular too) Profile.GetProfile(username); will update the LastActivityDate for that user. This is not intended when someone else is viewing that user's profile. In the membership class you can specify whether to update this date with a second param, like so: Membership.GetUser(username, false); // doesn't update LastActivityDate Membership.GetUser(username, true); // updates LastActivityDate Is there anyway to do something similar in the Profile provider without writing my own provider? You might use one ugly workaround which includes changing aspnet
