Hi there,

I have a webform that adds new members and their role to a website.  I have some custom fields, which I have created in the Profile section of my web.config file as follows:

<system.web>
 <profile>
   <providers>
   </providers>
   <properties>
     <add name="LocalAuthority" type="String" serializeAs="String" />
     <add name="Developer" type="String" serializeAs="String" />
     <add name="SalesAgent" type="String" serializeAs="String" />
   </properties>
 </profile>
</system.web>

However, when I am having trouble accessing and adding the Profile values in the code behind.  Intellisense does not allow me to chose Profile, which in turn means that I cannot access the custom values.  This is the code I am using:

Membership.CreateUser(txtUsername.Text, txtPassword.Text, txtEmail.Text);

// Add user to all selected roles from the roles listbox
for (int i = 0; i < lbRoles.Items.Count; i++) {
    if (lbRoles.Items[i].Selected == true)
            Roles.AddUserToRole(txtUsername.Text, lbRoles.Items[i].Value);
}

// Add custom field data to Profile
// This is where I am stuck - I can't get the Profile.Developer etc. to appear

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Is it Web Application or WebSite project type:

 Hi Guru,
