Hi Guys,

I'm working on a new website. Kind of like a social networking one. Where you have a user table. The user will have a profile with fields like Firstname, ProfileImage, date of Birth etc. Now I'm using MySQL 5 and asp.net. I'm just wondering whether I should create my own tables or use the membership ones. I have build a custom mysql provider but I don't know if I should go the Provider route. Please advise. I need to be able to let users invite friends etc. Do you guys see any issues arising in this scenario? How can I store a users profile image for example if i use providers?
