I apologize in advance for the lengthy message but wanted to include as much
information as possible. Any insight/assistance would be appreciated.
The following line of code throws an error when I execute my application
using the output generated from a web deployment project. I have specified
"merge all outputs to a single assembly." If I use the "publish web site"
option, the application works fine. If I run the application within Visual
Studio, everything works fine. If I use a web setup project for deployment,
everything works fine. It is only a problem when executing the output from
the web deployment project.
ProfileCommon pc = Profile.GetProfile(this.UserName);
The web.config file contains the following:
<profile enabled="true"
defaultProvider="AspNetReadOnlyXmlProfileProvider" >
<providers>
<add name="AspNetReadOnlyXmlProfileProvider"
type="Framework.Security.ReadOnlyXmlProfileProvide r, Framework.UI"
description="Read-only Xml File-based profile provider"
xmlFileName="~/App_Data/Users.xml"/>
</providers>
<properties>
<add name="FirstName" type="string"/>
<add name="LastName" type="string"/>
<add name="Title" type="string"/>
</properties>
</profile>
The following is the error:
