simple profile question

[=?Utf-8?B?SmFtZXMgUGFnZQ==?=]

Am i missing somthing simple?
I can't access any of the profile names in my code behind i.e;

textBox1.text = Profile.test = "some text"

here's the web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuratio n>

<appSettings/>
<connectionStri ngs/>

<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" />
<pages>
<namespaces>
<clear />
<add namespace="Syst em" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Collections" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Collections. Specialized" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Configuratio n" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Text" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Text.Regular Expressions" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Web" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Web.Caching" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Web.SessionS tate" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Web.Security " />
<add namespace="Syst em.Web.Profile" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Web.UI" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Web.UI.WebCo ntrols" />
<add namespace="Syst em.Web.UI.WebCo ntrols.WebParts " />
<add namespace="Syst em.Web.UI.HtmlC ontrols" />
</namespaces>
</pages>

<authenticati on mode="Forms" />
<anonymousIdent ification enabled="true"/>

<profile>
<properties>
<add name="test" allowAnonymous= "true"/>
</properties>
</profile>

</system.web>
</configuration>

I'm using VS2005

Any ideas - its been a long day!!

Are you using Web Application Projects? The Profile was compiled on the fly
for the Web Site Projects, but because the web application projects don't do
dynamic compilation, something different needs to be done. You'll need to
generate a strongly typed class to represent the profile. Luckily, there's
an add-in to VS to handle this for web application projects. You can get the
add-in at: http://www.codeplex.com/WebProfile

Thanks Mark that works a treat.

Yet another Microsoft "one of those things". I wonder if they will overcome
this in VS 2008??

PS Do you know of any other useful add-ins for VS2005?

There's the visual studio power toys at:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718340.aspx

There's a book called "Windows Developer Power Tools" by O'Reilly that has a
lot of awesome utilities for doing windows development as well as tools for
use with VS.
