I do create the profile in the web.confic file, but when I try to access it, (after building and rebuilding the website), the intellisense doesn;t allow me to access it?

Any ideas why?

I run VS 2008 Team System with SP1

Hi there,

Sounds like you created a Web Application Project (WAP) instead of a Web Site Project (WSP). That is, you chose File | New Project instead of File | New Web Site when you created the site.

Profiles are not supported out of the box in a WAP and require a lot of manual work and code.

If you want to follow along with the PlanetWrox site, my advice is to grap a copy of the source from the previous web site and use that as your source.

WAPs and WSPs are discussed in Chapter 2, page 34. Page 37, step 1 then shows you how to create a WSP.

Hope this helps; if not, please let me know.

Cheers,

Imar
