| Hi Tdar,
|
| Thanks for your further followup.
| After viewing the code you provided and performing some tests on ourside,
| here are some of my suggestions on this:
|
| 1. As for the ASP.NET Profiles, it is user specific, so please make sure
| when you update the Profile , the current user has actually login the web
| site. In other word, the current user is not under anonymous status. (We
| can enable anonymousIdentify so as to enable anonymous user for profile
| services....)
|
| 2. If #1 is ok. Then, we should make sure that each time after we set new
| values on user's profile, we have actually update the Profile values into
| the underlying persistent store (database....). Though we can set the
| Profile service to update Automatically as below:
|
| <system.web>
| <profile enabled="true" automaticSaveEnabled="true" >
|
| this only works when our page is normally ends, there is no other code
| which end the page request in the middle. And in your code you use
| Response.Redirect, it may cause the Profile values haven't been updated
to
| db, so to make sure this, I suggest you call the "Profile.Save()" before
| you call Response.Redirect, like below:
|
| =========
| Sub btnUpdatePreferences_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
| System.EventArgs)
| 'Profile.PreferredBackgroundColor =
| Color.FromName(ddlColor.SelectedValue)
| Profile.dbman_id_letter = dbmanletter.Text
| Profile.dbman_user_password = dbmancode.Text
|
| Profile.Save()
|
|
| Response.Redirect(Request.Url.LocalPath)
| End Sub
| =========
|
| This works well on my side. BTW, as for System.Drawing.Color, you need to
| reference the System.Drawing.dll in your web application first, then we
can
| access the System.Drawing Namespace.... Also, we can define the Color
| propety in profile like:
|
| <group name="Favorite" >
| <add name="Color" type="System.Drawing.Color"
| serializeAs="Binary"/>
| ................
|
|
| In addition, to use CustomClass in Profile, we can just define a custom
| class(better to make it as [Serializable]) and deinfe it in profile like;
|
| <add name="MyUnit" readOnly="false" type="CustomProfileClasses.MyUnit"
| serializeAs="Binary"/>
|
| =======code for custom class=====
| [Serializable]
| public class MyUnit
| {
| public string Name = string.Empty;
| public int Count =0;
| public bool Enabled = false;
| }
| ===============
|
|
| Then, we can access the custom class properties in Profile, just as other
| buildin type properteis, e.g:
|
| Profile.MyUnit.Name = "name"
| Profile.MyUnit.Count = 3
|
|
| Hope helps. Thanks,
|

| | Hello,
| | Ok I have been this profile stuff somewhat working,
| | however it is not saving the profile info for each user right here is
the
| | record of the two differnt users from the asp_profile table:
| | record 1 shippingtest user
| | {AF8020C2-4D36-47EE-B4EE-4D42AE080FD0}
| | PreferredBackgroundColor:B:0:187:<Binary> 11/15/2005 3:57:22 PM
| | record 2 djp user
| |
|
{8DFE1B7D-2637-4DB8-862C-296F277BA77E}dbman_id_letter:S:0:1

referredBackgro
| undColor:B:0:187:dbman_user_password:S:1:4: QDP99 <Binary> 11/15/2005
| | 3:55:20 PM
| |
| | the page code is : ( i do use master pages)
| |
| | Enter your preferred background color:
| | <asp

ropDownList ID="ddlColor" runat="server">
| | <asp:ListItem>Aqua</asp:ListItem>
| | </asp

ropDownList><br />
| | <br />
| | Enter your dbman email letter(case sensitive):<br />
| | <asp:TextBox ID="dbmanletter" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
| | <br />
| | Enter your dbman sales code:<br />
| | <asp:TextBox ID="dbmancode" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
| | <br />
| | <asp:button id="btnUpdatePreferences" runat="server"
| text="Click
| | to update your profile" onclick="btnUpdatePreferences_Click" />
| | <br />
| |
| | The code behind is:
| |
| | Partial Class MyProfile
| | Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
| |
| | Sub btnUpdatePreferences_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
| | System.EventArgs)
| | 'Profile.PreferredBackgroundColor =
| | Color.FromName(ddlColor.SelectedValue)
| | Profile.dbman_id_letter = dbmanletter.Text
| | Profile.dbman_user_password = dbmancode.Text
| | Response.Redirect(Request.Url.LocalPath)
| | End Sub
| |
| | Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
| | System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
| | dbmancode.Text = Profile.dbman_user_password
| | dbmanletter.Text = Profile.dbman_id_letter
| | End Sub
| | End Class
| |
| | I commented out this time because i am not sure yet and have not
| researched
| | yet how to put system.drawing in a code behind page thus i commented
out
| | that line
| | 'Profile.PreferredBackgroundColor =
| Color.FromName(ddlColor.SelectedValue)
| |
| | for the djp user the stuff works file, but for the other shiptest users
| the
| | dbman letter and dbman code do not save
| |
| | I really hope you expand on this prfile area in the future because I
dont
| | see it being a viable for storeing a customers multiple shipping
address
| | (unless it is because i have nto played with the seralization yet) and
| then
| | for creating reports such as mailing list using there address i see
there
| has
| | to be alot of extra work splitting up the fields to pull the data
| directly
| | from the database for say a crystal report..
