Membership provider

[Amir Ghezelbash]

Hello all,

I have a question..i am developing a web application in asp.net 2.0 and
these past few days i have been reading about asp.net 2.0 Membership
providers...now i have a question...i have implemented into my web
application..but i have a alot of questions from users when they
register that membership doesnot provide..how do you add more stuff to
the profile of the members while using Membership provider..becuase its
functionality saves me a lot of time...but i need more info from
users...like their age..where they are from all of that needs to shown
in their profile

MembershipProviders are about storing authentication credentials, not other
data. This is by design. If you'd like other data for your user, then use
something else (like the Profile). Don't fall into the trap of wanting to
extend an existing membership provider to add you extra data; this approach
is counter to the design of the provider model.

As for capturing this extra info and storing it on the profile, you can add
more steps to the CreateUserWizard to capture said data.
