with asp.net 2.0 profile, you get access to untyped database storage all through the use of web.config file

 this is very useful for small website or if you have fields that may change its datatype later on in the development, and its really simple to use.

 insert following to your webconfig

<profile enabled="true">
   <properties>
    <add name="FirstName"/>
</>

thats it!  now you have a database field for "firstname"

To use it, simply call profile.Firstname
or profile.firstname = xxx to set it.

have FUNZ !
