Collection of Profiles

[Jeff]

Hey

asp.net 2.0

I want to populate a GridView with the profile properties off all users
registered on a website!

For example like this:
<profile enabled="true">
<properties>
<add name="FirstName " type="string"/>
<add name="LastName" type="string"/>
<add name="Gender" type="string"/>
<add name="BirthDate " type="DateTime"/>
</properties>
<profile>

Creating a GridView displaying the columns FirstName, LastName, Gender and
BirthDate...

My problem is that I don't know how to get the collection profiles.. The
only solution I can think of using a foreach loop on the MembershipUser
objects in MembershipUserC ollection and create a ProfileCommon object for
each item in the MembershipColle ction..:

List<ProfileCom monprofileList = null;
private MembershipUserC ollection allUsers = Membership.GetA llUsers();
foreach (MembershipUser user in allUsers) {
ProfileCommon profile = Profile.GetProf ile(user.UserNa me);
profileList.add (profile)
}
GridView1.DataS ource = profileList;
GridView1.DataB ind()

(I haven't tested the code above in visual studio 2005, so I'm not sure if
it compiles. I just wrote the code above to show what I whould do to get the
collection of profiles)

Isn't there a better way of doing this?

If you want to get all the profiles, you should be able to retrieve all the
proviles through the ProfileManager. GetAllProfiles( ) method, which will
return a ProfileInfoColl ection. I haven't tried binding this to a grid, but
I believe this could work.

Hey

I thought the same, but it doesn't quite work. Below is the code I tryed, it
crashes because "FirstName" isn't a property of ProfileInfo (it's one of the
properties specified in web.config in the profile section). I'm also
thinking that ProfileManager. GetAllProfiles returns a
ProfileMemberCo llection, which contains a collection of ProfileInfo
objects.. I've been reading a bit here and see those custom properties is
available via the ProfileCommon class, but I don't know how to get a
collection of the ProfileCommon objects...

Any suggestions?

<asp:gridview ID="gvwUsers" runat="server" autogeneratecol umns="false" >
<Columns>
<asp:ButtonFiel d HeaderText="Use rName" DataTextField=" UserName" />
<asp:ButtonFiel d HeaderText="Fir stName" DataTextField=" FirstName" />
</Columns>
</asp:gridview>

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
gvwUsers.DataSo urce =
ProfileManager. GetAllProfiles( ProfileAuthenti cationOption.Au thenticated);
gvwUsers.DataBi nd();
}
