question about profil and global.asax

[benny]

Hi,

i'm trying to transform an anonymous user profile to an authenticated user
profile.

I found this global.asax here below and there are some things i don't
understand.
1) where does the last function come from ( Public Sub
Profile_OnMigrateAnonymous) because in VWDeveloper, that event doesn't
appear in the available list of events?
2) when is it executed because it's not in the "Application_Start" (or _end)
neither in "session_start"? On request?
3) in that function, there is a class defined 'ProfileCommon'. I discovered
that that class was generated by a 'tool' and is not located in the
application directory but in c:\windows\microsoft.net\v2..\Temporary Asp.net
files\...\...\profile.cdcab7d2.vb .
What tool is that and when was it generated? Why is not located in the
application directory?

Thanks
Benny

' get the profile for the anonymous user
Dim anonProfile As ProfileCommon = Profile.GetProfile(e.AnonymousID)

' if they have a shopping cart, then migrate that to the
authenticated user
If anonProfile.Cart IsNot Nothing Then

If Profile.Cart Is Nothing Then
profile.Cart = New Test.Commerce.ShoppingCart()
profile.Cart.Items.AddRange(anonProfile.Cart.Items)
end if

anonProfile.Cart = Nothing
End If

ProfileManager.DeleteProfile(e.AnonymousID)
