Best practice for using Profiles in Web Application?

[charlisa]

We are developing a Web Application in which we would like to utilize the
System.Web.Profile object. Unfortunately, .NET does not create the
infrastructure for Profiles in a Web Application, only in Web Site projects.
Is there a best practice for utilizing profiles in a Web Application?

We are developing a Web Application in which we would like to utilize

Site projects. Is there a best practice for utilizing profiles in a
Web Application?

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic (COM-based) asp newsgroup.
ASP.Net bears very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be
lucky enough to find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your
question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a
group where those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet or the forums at www.asp.net.

Go to www.asp.net in any case and look for the Application Blocks to see
what MS considers "best practices"
