Remarks

You can use this property to retrieve or set the property values of the user profile for your application by name. Returned values are typed as object and must be cast as the specific object type when retrieved. For strongly typed access to profile property values, you can access the property by name as a member of the Profile property available on each page, for example, Profile.CustomerAddress.
