Unable to retrieve profile info

[Ashley Bryant]

I'm just starting my first 2.0 site with the new membership features and am
having some trouble with profiles. I have my providers set up and working
fine and profile data is being written to the database. However, I can't
retrieve any of the stored profile values on my site. I set up the provider
and everything just like it is explained in the various MSDN articles, but
still nothing.

Any thoughts?

Hi Ashley,

How are you writing profile data to the database, is it through the
Page.Profile object? When you try to retrieve you profile data, do the
profile fields you configured in web.config appear under Intellisense?

I'm writing the values through a click handler like this:

profile.Display Name = txtDisplayName. Text

The data is making it to the database just fine, but doesn't come back when
I make a call to profile.Display Name

DisplayName does show up under Intellisense when I type in "profile".

In which event handler are you trying to read the profile values?

Isn't it Profile.Display Name (with a capital "P")

If your using VB then I don't think it makes much of a difference; but
this is the only thing I can think of.

I just made a simple form with a textbox and a button. When the button is
clicked it fires the click handler and apparently does the update because the
database is correct.

I'm using VB, so it shouldn't matter.

Do you get IntelliSense for your profile properties when you set the
value, or do you need to type it manually? Can you see the profile
data in the database, or is it just the profile table structure?

[Ashley Bryant]

Yes, I get the Intellisense for the profile entry I created. The profile
data does get written to the database. Everything is happening the way it's
supposed to except for when I actually try and display the profile data
somewhere.

So, on the form I created to change the Display name I have this in my
Page_Load:

If Not Page.IsPostBack then
txtDisplayName. Text = profile.Display Name
End If

And the click handler has only this:

profile.Display Name = txtDisplayName. Text

The txtDisplayName textbox never has the existing profile in it on page
load, nor do any of the other pages where I attempt to call
profile.Display Name.

All looks ok, what have you got in the <profile> section of your
web.config? Are you using some sort of authentication or is it
anonymous users?
