Hi,
I had one query.
Once the user is successfully created using the createUser method of the membership class, it returns back the membership user.

where is this membership user stored ?
what does asp.net do with this once the user is successfully created.

I checked the httpContext.Current.User but this one is not the membership user object.

Do I always have to do a GetUser if I need to do anything with the membership user after it is created.

Well ... if you are doing everything right .. then the users created goes in the database .. ASPNET.MDF ... which you will find in App_Data folder in your project ...

You can open this database in visual studio itself ...

Hope this helps !!

or if you have content management, make use of the ProfileCommon use, and MembershipUser classes. If you are editing users that are not currently logged in then httpContext.Current.User will be anonymous.
