compile errors when converting web site project to web application project

[John Dalberg]

I converted a working web site project to a web application project and I
am getting a bunch of warnings and compile errors.

All code using .NET's profile class is giving an error.

example line:
txtName.Text = Profile.FirstName

gives an error:
... FirstName' is not a member of 'Profile'.

Even though it worked before migration and I have an attribute for it in
web.config:

...... <properties>
<add name="FirstName" type="System.String"
provider="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"/>

and then I am getting lots of warnings for the web.config file. See below.
The warnings might be the cause for the profile errors because it couldn't
read the attributes for the profile but why is Visual Studio giving
warnings about the web.config file?

and lots more of 'Could not find schema information.." warnings.

You need to add a WebProfile class since the provider normally expects an
APP_CODE folder. Scott Guthrie covers this on his blog and there is even an
add-in to generate the required class. Sorry, can't remember exactly where it
is.
