MembershipProvi ders are about storing authentication credentials, not other
data. This is by design. If you'd like other data for your user, then use
something else (like the Profile). Don't fall into the trap of wanting to
extend an existing membership provider to add you extra data; this approach
is counter to the design of the provider model.

As for capturing this extra info and storing it on the profile, you can add
more steps to the CreateUserWizar d to capture said data.

Sorry for cross post, forgot to include aspnet in orinal... Thanks in advance for any assistance. I'm in the process of implementing custom RoleProvider & Membership Provider objects and have run into a snag with the Membership Provider. It seems many of the MembershipUser properties are read-only. This seems, well stupid, IMO.

Hi I was working fine with create user wizard and the default membership provider. I have now customised the membership provider as per attached web.config.

Hi, I am currently working on an asp.net 2.0 web site that is a replacement of a classic asp web site. The current web site uses a Commerce Server 2002 database for storing user information.

Hi All, Can I use more than one membership provider for a given website? I understand only one of them could be default one. If yes, then how to programmatically access the other membership provider? For e.g. lets say I have a SQLMembership provider and OracleMembership provider. SQL would be my default provider. During authentication, based on the value of an additional parameter in the login screen, I need to validate against SQL or...

Hello everyone, I am wondering, can the membership provider be changed at runtime? Perhaps the connectionStringName? I would like to use a different database based on the server the site is on. I suppose that a custom provider could be used to accomplish this, is there another way?

Hello All, How to change the default Membership Provider during the runtime? I know I can reference any provider I want, e.g.: provider = Membership.Providers but the question is how to change the default one, so all those new, cool controls can start using the one I want. I can specify the provider for each of those controls, e.g.:

With Forms authentication in 1.1, I would just create a custom identiy and principal and store the information in the identity....

Although this will be a challenge at my level of ASP.NET knowledge, I'm thinking I should implement my own membership provider class. Looking over the methods I must implement, a number of questions come to mind. 1. How would one implement GetNumberOfUsersOnline? I'm not sure where there is any indication of this? And it this affected by the "Remember me next time" checkbox, which doesn't seem to work like it does on any other site...
