Custom Profile Provider with class library

Question

I have a class library (lets call it a) which i've created a custom profile provider in. I reference this library in another class library (lets call this b) which is part of a solution along with a web application. Now how do i reference the custom profile provider in class library b.

I've been following this article http://leedumond.com/blog/getting-strongly-typed-profile-properties-from-a-class-library. Which is ok but it doesn't save the profile it only reads it.

Has anyone done this or know how to do it?

Answer 1

Well the example is not really what you're looking for.

Once you have created a ProfileCommon that inherits ProfileBase use an instance of that class to manage it.

so :

ProfileCommon profile = (ProfileCommon)HttpContext.Current.Profile;
profile.Name = "balstedfury";
Profile.Save();

Since ProfileCommon inherits ProfileBase you can call Save that belogs to it. see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.profile.profilebase_members.aspx

Let me know it this helps.
