Hi.
I have created a custom profile provider, and also a custom Profile class. My Profile Provider does not use the <properties> node in the web.config to store profile fields.
When done... I found out nothing was working! the profile provider was not recoqnized properly, and it didn't return my custom profile class either - although I had the "Inherits" attribute set to my class.
I then found out, that if I added a single "dummy" <property> under the <properties /> node, it suddenly recoqnized my custom provider and profile class, etc...
My question is.: Am I missing something here? or is it just a "feature", that you need to provide at least one <property> node in the web.config, in order to get a custom provider to work? e.g. your custom profile provider will not work with <properties /> in the web.config
And an additional question: after ...

Go to the complete details ...
