| re: ASP.NET 2.0 How-To: Bind datasource parameter to UserID?
Thanks Cowboy,
This sort-of helps.
I know how to add properties and interact with the Profile object, and to
enable anonymous users.
I also know that I can write Profile values in the Application
OnAcquireRequestState event.
I guess that what I don't know how to do is to access the ASP.NET-assigned
UserID for an anonymous user.
