I have a sub application set up in the Umbraco folder working OK. I inherit the Membership Role nd Profile settings from the root Umbraco web.config.

If I use razor I can get the User Profile Data no problem, but if I try to get the authenticated users profile in the MVC sub application the profile properties are empty.

I have tried to get them using profle.GetProperty("firstName").Value; same result empty string. I can see all of the Membership properties, but no values.

If someone could give me some idea as to why my sub app can not retrieve the property values I would be very grateful.

web.config

<profile defaultProvider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" enabled="true">
        <providers>
            <clear/>
            <add name="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoProfileProvider, umbraco.providers"/>
        </providers>
        <properties>
            <clear/>

            <add name="firstName" allowAnonymous="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String"/>
            <add name="surName" allowAnonymous="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.String"/>
            <add name="dateOfBirth" allowAnonymous="false" provider="UmbracoMemberProfileProvider" type="System.DateTime"/>


        </properties>
    </profile>  

if (HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
    MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name);
    var member = new Member((int)user.ProviderUserKey);

    var fname = profile["firstName"];
    var sur = profile["surName"];
    var dob = profile["dateOfBirth"];
}
