ProfileObject Object
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
Note
The ProfileObject object is obsolete; instead, use ProfileContext or ProfileManagementContext.
Use this object to retrieve the data in specific profile object instances and modify the property values for that profile object. In addition, use the ProfileObject object to examine and navigate the property attributes of a profile object.

Remarks
The ProfileObject object supports extended dot notation. For example, using extended dot notation, the following:
oProfileObject.Fields("Address.Zipcode")
is equivalent to:
oProfileObject.Fields("Address").Value("Zipcode")
The first technique retrieves the Zipcode value in a single call to Fields.Value, while the second technique requires two calls to retrieve the same value.
The ProfileObject object also provides smart navigation into profiles. For example, using smart navigation, the following:
oProfileObject.Address.ZipCode
is equivalent to:
oProfileObject.Fields("Address.Zipcode")
In general, the CreateProfile method of the ProfileService object is used to instantiate this object.
