Asp.net profile in a separate assembly
I have a web application which uses membership and profiles. I successfully used the WebProfileBuilder extension, so my profile class is correctly generated, and is working nicely.
However, after a new request of my client, I need now to move that profile management part into another assembly (so I'd be able to get profile inform开发者_C百科ation in a windows service running on the same machine).
What I made is created the new assembly, moved my generated profile file, and tried to use it from the other assembly, but without any success. I always get a SettingsPropertyNotFoundException
. My thought is that the profile system doesn't know where to find its connection information, so I tried to add the connectionstring and provider in the app.config of this assembly, but this doesn't seem to work.
What am I missing ? Is it possible to do ?
Thanks in advance!
I've got a nasty suspicion that your APP.Config file won't be picked by the web application; did you keep the settings in your Web.Config file ?
I've only found app.config to work on such an assemply when using NUnit or similar.
Ok I found what's wrong... Thanks to this blog post:

The only thing I needed to do is add applicationName="/"
in my provider configuration, in the app.config. (which is the application name, can be found inside the aspnet_Applications table in the DB.
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add
name="MyConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=...;Initial Catalog=...;User ID=...;Password=..."
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
<profile
enabled="true"
defaultProvider="Sql2008ProfileProvider">
<properties>
<add name="UserLevel" type="integer"/>
<add name="value1" type="string" />
<add name="value2" type="string" />
<add name="value3" type="string" />
<add name="value4" type="string"/>
</properties>
<providers>
<clear/>
<add
name="Sql2008ProfileProvider"
type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="MyConnectionString"
applicationName="/"
/>
</providers>
</profile>
</system.web>
</configuration>
