  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="SqlServices" connectionString=
      "Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;" />
  </connectionStrings>

  <system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms" >
      <forms loginUrl="login.aspx"
        name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" />
    </authentication>

    <authorization>
      <deny users="?" />
    </authorization>

    <membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider"
      userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add
          name="SqlProvider"
          type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
          connectionStringName="SqlServices"
          enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
          enablePasswordReset="true"
          requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
          requiresUniqueEmail="false"
          passwordFormat="Hashed"
          applicationName="MyApplication" />
      </providers>
    </membership>

    <profile defaultProvider="SqlProvider">
      <providers>
        <add
          name="SqlProvider"
          connectionStringName="SqlServices"
          applicationName="MyApplication"
          type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" />

      </providers>

      <properties>
        <add name="ZipCode" />
        <group name="Address">
          <add name="Street" />
          <add name="City" />
          <add name="State" />
          <add name="CountryOrRegion" />
        </group>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

The following ASP.NET page reads and sets the grouped properties specified for the user profile.

Important

This example contains a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Remarks

Profile properties can be separated into groups for better organization. The GetProfileGroup property can be used to retrieve a group of properties by the group name. You can also access a profile property in a group by specifying the group name as a member of the Profile property available on each page. For example, the ZipCode profile property that is a member of the Address profile group could be accessed using Profile.Address.ZipCode.
