Hi

I am using profiles and on MyProfile.aspx page, i want to show the date the user created their account

and the last time they logged on.

Also I want to get the users birthdate. I know i can declare a type of  datetime in Webconfig but not sure

what are the best controls to put on the page so the user can enter this detail. Dropdown list maybe.

I am extending the create user wizard to get the extra profile data.

 grateful for any examples in  in Charp

 With the MembershipUser class you will get all these information you need. Just load it like in this page:

Afterwards you have to save the values to profiles:

If you need a code sample I will write you a small one

yes if you could write some c sharp code to put me on track be very useful.

thanks

 So this should be a working code but I didn't have time to test it. I put an login control on my site with the authenticate event automatically created by the control:

  protected void Login1_Authenticate(object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e)
    {
        MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(Login1.UserName);
        Profile.Profile1 = user.CreationDate.ToString();
        Profile.Profile2 = user.LastActivityDate.ToString();
        Profile.Save();   

     }

In order to use the profile you have to declare them in web.config like this:

   <profile >
        <properties>
          <add name="Profile1" allowAnonymous="true" />
          <add name="Profile2" allowAnonymous="true"/>
        </properties>
      </profile>

hi,

I got the following error?

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: This property cannot be set for anonymous users.

Source Error:

Line 58:         }
Line 59:         set {
Line 60:             this.SetPropertyValue("Profile1", value);
Line 61:         }
Line 62:     }

 In web config - I dont allow allow Anonymous users on the site so I put that bit to false

<add name="Profile2" type="System.String" allowAnonymous="false"/>

 Yeah with this code you have to be locked in because the profiles are saved under your specific user. If you also want so save the profile anonymous you have to add some additional code.
