RE: getting Membership userid to use and store in a custom databas

Hello,
Ok I have been this profile stuff somewhat working,
however it is not saving the profile info for each user right here is the
record of the two differnt users from the asp_profile table:
record 1 shippingtest user
{AF8020C2-4D36-47EE-B4EE-4D42AE080FD0}
PreferredBackgroundColor:B:0:187:<Binary> 11/15/2005 3:57:22 PM
record 2 djp user
{8DFE1B7D-2637-4DB8-862C-296F277BA77E}dbman_id_letter:S:0:1:PreferredBackgroundColor:B:0:187:dbman_user_password:S:1:4: QDP99 <Binary> 11/15/2005
3:55:20 PM

the page code is : ( i do use master pages)

Enter your preferred background color:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlColor" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>Aqua</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList><br />
<br />
Enter your dbman email letter(case sensitive):<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="dbmanletter" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<br />
Enter your dbman sales code:<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="dbmancode" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<br />
<asp:button id="btnUpdatePreferences" runat="server" text="Click
to update your profile" onclick="btnUpdatePreferences_Click" />
<br />

The code behind is:

Partial Class MyProfile
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Sub btnUpdatePreferences_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
'Profile.PreferredBackgroundColor =
Color.FromName(ddlColor.SelectedValue)
Profile.dbman_id_letter = dbmanletter.Text
Profile.dbman_user_password = dbmancode.Text
Response.Redirect(Request.Url.LocalPath)
End Sub

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
dbmancode.Text = Profile.dbman_user_password
dbmanletter.Text = Profile.dbman_id_letter
End Sub
End Class

I commented out this time because i am not sure yet and have not researched
yet how to put system.drawing in a code behind page thus i commented out
that line
'Profile.PreferredBackgroundColor = Color.FromName(ddlColor.SelectedValue)

for the djp user the stuff works file, but for the other shiptest users the
dbman letter and dbman code do not save

I really hope you expand on this prfile area in the future because I dont
see it being a viable for storeing a customers multiple shipping address
(unless it is because i have nto played with the seralization yet) and then
for creating reports such as mailing list using there address i see there has
to be alot of extra work splitting up the fields to pull the data directly
from the database for say a crystal report..
