Remarks

The MembershipUser object returned by Item[] property contains a snapshot of user information in the membership data store. That is, changes to the membership user information in the MembershipUserCollection are not reflected in the membership data store. To modify membership user information in the membership data store, use the UpdateUser, CreateUser, and DeleteUser methods.
