Trying to migrate an anonymous profile to an authenticated one

[GeoffreyD]

Hi

I'm having trouble with using Profile.GetProfile(e.AnonymousID) from the
profile_MigrateAnonymous event handler. I'm trying to implement this in a
code behind file for Global.asax but Profile.GetProfile() is not defined. I
understand that this could be related to Profile being a class generated at
run time and therefore I cannot use it at compile time? How do I work around
this? Global.asax is not permitted to have a <script> section and a
code-behind file.

Thanks
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

As for the Global.asax in ASP.NET 2.0, you can still provide a codebehind
file for it, the difference is that you use it as a base class instead of
partial class:

http://rossnelson.blogspot.com/2005/11/fixing-globalasax-in-aspnet-20.html

Thus, you can use all the codebehind coding style in it for your global
class.

Also, as for the "Profile" class, yes, it is a page specific property which
is generated at runtime. However, you can use Profile through the following
standard built-in class:

==========
ProfileBase p = ProfileBase.Create("user name here...");
....
============

#ProfileBase.Create Method (String)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151825.aspx

You need to import the "System.Web.Profile" namespace.
