Introducation:

Explanation:

We will create a Registration Page where users will also provide us some optional entries. This is completly managed by ASP .NET 2.0 Profiling. Let us do it step by step.

• Create a New Page Call it "GetRegistered.aspx" also select "Place code id separate file"
• Open the Design view of the page
• Throw the "CreateUserWizard" on the page
• Click the Wizard from Top right Corner small errow ( this is where we can edit every server controle)
•  Click the Link "Customize Create User Step" .
•  Now open the source view of page. You noticed that it created alot of code in your page.
•  Add some  more code to the Wizard as shown in the code below ( in bold)

<div align=center style="margin-top:100px">
<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="WizardCreateUser" runat="server" ContinueDestinationPageUrl="~/Default.aspx" OnCreatedUser="WizardCreateUser_CreatedUser">
<WizardSteps>
<asp:CreateUserWizardStep runat="server" >
<ContentTemplate>
<table border="0">

<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2" style="color: red">
<asp:Literal ID="ErrorMessage" runat="server" EnableViewState="False"></asp:Literal>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:CreateUserWizardStep>
<asp:CompleteWizardStep runat="server" />
</WizardSteps>
</asp:CreateUserWizard>
</div>

 Now, Right Click the page and go to "Code view" of the Page. add this code to the Page.

protected void WizardCreateUser_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ProfileCommon p = (ProfileCommon)ProfileCommon.Create(WizardCreateUser.UserName, true);

p.FirstName = ((TextBox)WizardCreateUser.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("TextBoxFirstName")).Text;

p.LastName = ((TextBox)WizardCreateUser.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("TextBoxLastName")).Text;

p.Save();
}

 Ok, still one more thing to be done. add these lines to you Web.config . This block of code will come between <system.web>   </system.web> .

<profile enabled="true">
<properties>
<add name="FirstName"/>
<add name="LastName"/>
</properties>
</profile>

 Ok ,now you can view the page in the Browser. Create a new user. To view Users Profile you need to Create a Page. Call this Page "UserPrifile.aspx" .
