Remarks

The MembershipUser object is used to represent a single membership user in the membership data store. It exposes information about the membership user such as the email address, and provides functionality for the membership user such as the ability to change or reset their password.

Note

If you are not familiar with the membership features of ASP.NET, see Introduction to Membership before continuing. For a list of other topics related to membership, see Managing Users by Using Membership.

A MembershipUser object is returned by the GetUser and CreateUser methods or as part of a MembershipUserCollection returned by the GetAllUsers, FindUsersByName, and FindUsersByEmail methods.

A MembershipUser object is required by the UpdateUser method when you want to update the information for an existing membership user.
