Remarks
The ProfileService object implements read/write run-time access for ProfileObject objects and read-only access for profile definitions.
The ProfileService object provides run-time access to a profile object, which is a specific instantiation of a profile schema. The Profile Schema Manager and the Profiles resource in Commerce Server Manager provide design-time access for modifying the profile schema.
In a Web-based application context, the ProfileService object is intended to be created and initialized in the Global.asa file for the application. The ProfileObject objects are intended to be created within page scope.
If you create a COM+ application, you cannot make calls from within that application to the ProfileService object.
Call the Initialize method before you use any other ProfileService method or property.
