How to assign Profile values?

Question

I don\'t know what I am missing, but I added Profile properties in the Web.config file but cannot access Profile.Item in the code or create a new profile.

If you are using a web application project, you cannot access the Profile object at design-time out-of-the-box. Here is a utility that supposedly does it for you: http://weblogs.asp.net/joewrobel/archive/2008/02/03/web-profile-builder-for-web-application-projects.aspx. Personally, that utility caused an error in my project so I ended up rolling my own profile class to inherit from ProfileBase. It was not hard to do at all.
