Hi

If you have access to the User's username you should be able to create a Membership and Member class object and call the update methods.

memberToEdit = Membership.GetUser("username");

memberToEdit.Email = "[email protected]";

Membership.UpdateUser(memberToEdit)

//BasicProfile is the equivilant of your class which inherits from Profilebase

profileToEdit = BasicProfile.GetUserProfile("username");

profileToEdit.propertyName = "newvalue";

profileToEdit.Save();

Take a look at this post.  This will explain it i think :).  Charlie

You dont need to define the properties in the web config? :)

Thanks CHARLES, I'm not sure you understood what I asked for though - I have my web.config & umbraco set up with profile class & membership provider which I use with no problem.

I just didn't know how to create new profiles programatically without the need to log them in first.

MATT, thanks, it looks like this may do the job.

Your solution looks pretty obvious and I think I tried to do the same.

I don't see ProfileBase has a method GetUserProfile() available so I used my own:

public static Member UserById(int id)
        {
            try
            {
                return (Member)ProfileBase.Create(Membership.GetUser(id).UserName);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return null;
            }
        }

I don't think it worked for me though using ProfileBase.Create() method. Will check it later and come back here.

For now - as it was one-off job I used deprecated umbraco Member class to update profiles.

Thanks

Hi Eva

sorry, this is the GetUserProfile method I use, overloaded so one can get by username, the other by the currently logged on user, again my class that inherits from ProfileBase is called BasicProfile:

       public static BasicProfile GetUserProfile(string username)
        {
            return Create(username) as BasicProfile;
        }

        public static BasicProfile GetUserProfile()
        {
            return Create(Membership.GetUser().UserName) as BasicProfile;
        }

Ahhhh i see yes i had misunderstood, but Matt Jones looks like he has a good implimentation :).  Charlie
