  ProfileBase -vs- ProfileCommon

  Apr 11, 2008 11:20 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I am experiencing a strange intermittent problem with a Custom Profile class that is derived from the ProfileBase class. Under normal circumstances things work well. But if i log in a user, then log out again, then log in as a different user all the PropertyValues in ProfileBase return nothing, but when i check the ProfileCommon object they are all present.

  For example;
  

  public long PartyId
  		{
  			get
  			{
  				long partyId = 0;
  				object o = GetPropertyValue("PartyId");
  				if (o != null)
  				{
  					partyId = long.Parse(o.ToString());
  				}
  				return partyId;
  			}
  			set { SetPropertyValue("PartyId", value); }
  		}

  The GetPropertyValue method returns nothing, but if I set a break point and run this in the Immediate Window, the correct value is returned;

   
  

  System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Profile.GetPropertyValue("PartyId");
   

   Has anyone any advice or ideas of how I can check why the ProfileCommon does contain the values, but the ProfileBase doesn't?

   

   

  Cheers,

  slum.

  Hi

  Did you overrides GetProfile method in this custom class ?

  somthing like this :

   

  public virtual ProfileCommon GetProfile(string username) {
          return ((ProfileCommon)(ProfileBase.Create(username)));
      }

  Hi Anas,

  Thanks for getting back to me. No I didn't override the GetProfile method, in fact, I don't see GetProfile in the methods of ProfileBase at all.

  
  

   

  Cheers.

  Ah , I see...

  Ok try to add it to your custom class ...

  And why you created this custom class ? why you didn't used the ProfileCommon class which is  being generated by Visual studio when you set the Profile properties in web.config ...

   

  are you using Web application project ? or web site project ? ( I mean , when you created the site ... did you chose " New website " OR " New Project "  ?

  what are you trying to accomplish here ? did you set the Profile proerpties in web.config file ?

   

  Thanks

  Hi Anas,

   

  There is no GetProfile method to override on the ProfileBase class (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.profile.profilebase_methods.aspx).

  I am not using the ProfileCommon class because  we do not want all the Properties munged together in the database and also because we are extending the Profile object with a couple of additional methods too.

  This is a web app project, and yes the properties are all set correctly in the web.config.

  Normally this works perfectly, it only becomes a problem when you log out then log in as a different user.

   

   
  Cheers.

  Hi

  I'm not sure why you have this problem ! did you tried to set the Profile AutoSave settigns  to false ?

  I also found a good blog post that show how to write a profile wrapper class when working with WAP!

  please read it : http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/01/19/writing-a-custom-asp-net-profile-class.aspx
