I am following the TIO on page 562 Chapter 16.

The exercise works fine and stores profile information in the database but only when a user is logged in as it should. However if no user is logged in, instead of going to the login page it just displays an error saying that this property cannot be set for anonymous users.

I guess this is because of the " deny users="?" " but I don't see why it just doesn't go to the login.aspx page like it is supposed to in the book?

Hi Will,

Are you sure you protected the page as explained in the book? How does your <location /> element in web.config look? Did you add it to the main config file in the root? And is the page name referenced in the path attribute the same as your page?

Finally, do you have the same behavior with the code that comes with the book?

In re-reading my code to put into this post I caught my mistake. I left the .aspx off path="MyProfile". It works fine now. Thanks.

Great; that helps.... ;-)
