newbie: I wonder if this is possible in asp.net 2.0

[Jeff]

Hey

asp.net 2.0

As far as I know it's possible to search the users registrered at a asp.net
2.0 web portal using either username or e-mail.

But what about the custom profile properties which can be configured in
web.config? Can they be searched too? I guess it can by using foreach loop
and test the contents on every user object.. but I thought maybe there was a
cleaner and faster way to do it...

Lets say for example these are custom profile settings in web.config. any
suggestion on how to search them? Lets say the search should return all
users containing the phrase "Lets" in lastname? or all users of a specific
gender?
<profile enabled="true">
<properties>
<add name="FirstName" type="string"/>
<add name="LastName" type="string"/>
<add name="Gender" type="string"/>
<add name="BirthDate" type="DateTime"/>
</properties>
</profile>

Best Regards

This article should help, and even fleshes out some of the sample code
provided by one of the MS people for it:
