Membership via ASP.NET 2.0

[Kevin]

Am trying to get the hang of ASP.NET 2.0 and am looking at membership .
Once a user has created a new account via the wizard, how can I get the
UserID?
Want to do this as will be able to add a linked table to store additional
details on the user.
Also when an existing user logs in, will need his UserID also, to extract
the extra data in the linked table.
Thanks
Kevin

Hello Kevin,

You can get the MembershipUser object from the
SqlMembershipProvider.GetUser() method. You can get the user's key from the
MembershipUser.ProviderUserKey property. That should allow you to build a
linkage table of your own construction.

Have you considered adding profile properties, then you can
add your custom properties to your web.config and let ASP
take care of the tables. You don't need to worry about
UserID either.
