Using the Profile Provider in ASP.Net 2.0

[gep13]

With ASP.NET 2.0, you can add authentication, authorization, and profiles to your Web site without writing a single line of code. That's quite a step forward from the way things used to be.

This is very true!

I have heard some people argue that the Membership Provider implementation is overly verbose, and "clunky", however, in my opinion, it does a very good job out of the box, and prevents the need to completely re-invent the wheel when it comes to allowing creation of users on your site.
