Thread: Custom Profile provider is null




Custom Profile provider is null

I've implemented a custom profile provider following the
pattern and examples
provided with ASP.NET 2.0, but no Profile object ever
appears in my page; that
is, after executing the following,

    ProfileCommon profile = this.Profile;

in my Page_Load method, profile is always null.  My
web.config file contains the
following section:

<profile enabled="true"
defaultProvider="UserProfileProvider">
    <properties>
        <add name="ShowItems"
type="System.Boolean"
defaultValue="false" />
    </properties>
    <providers>
        <add name="UserProfileProvider"
            type="Utilities.UserProfileProvider,
Utilities"
            applicationName="/"
            description="User profile provider"
/>
    </providers>
</profile>

The Utilities assembly is in place, and Intellisense offers
the ShowItems
property of profile as a bool, as expected, so the
web.config file is being
parsed.  Utilities.UserProfileProvider inherits directly
from ProfileProvider;
the only members for which I'm providing any real
implementation (at this point)
are GetPropertyValues and SetPropertyValues.

What else should I be doing?  Is anything needed in
Global.asax to get things
going?

TIA...
