Accessing ASP.NET Profile

Hi,

How can I update Profile propertys in my Atlas application? Since I don't use update panels, I call web services to make server requests. I know that I can access the Session by declaring [WebMethod(EnableSession=true)], but can I also enable Profiles there?

Or are there alternatives to web services?

In javascript, you access profile properties using something like:

Sys.Profile.properties["list"] = [1, 2, 3];

And then you want to call:

Sys.Profile.save();

To enable this feature, you do need to have a few things in config defined:

<configSections>
<section name="profileService" type="Microsoft.Web.Configuration.ProfileServiceSection" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>

<microsoft.web>
<profileService enabled="true" getProperties="*" setProperties="*" />
</microsoft.web>

This will enable atlas access to the Profile object, and let you get and set all properties, note you can lock down which propeties you want get/settable thru atlas using the get/setProperties in the profileService section.

Hope that helps,

Thank's a lot. After your reply I searched the atlas docs again and now I have no clue, why I overlooked the profile topic before!

This feature is so cool! I love Atlas more everyday...
