Issue with extending profile system
If I were to create a collection of image objects associated with each user's profile (similiar to the credit card and address collections), the MSDN documentation for extending the profiles system seems incomplete to me.
Adding additional properties to the existing profile objects seems fine, and Nihit's BLOG posting is a good walkthrough for this sort of thing, but there are several steps missing from the process of creating new profile objects.
Specifically, there is no mention of opening the profiles data store in SSMS and creating a new table in the profiles database. The documentation walks through creating the data source, creating the data object, and then creating the profile definition, but I didn't see anything about having to manually create the tables.
There *is* mention of this on the older documentation which we have on our local machines, but this seems to have been removed from MSDN during one of the recent document refreshes.
Additionally, it should be documented somewhere that anytime you add one of these tables, you need to edit the security settings of that table to allow the Profiles_Runtime SQL role to create, select, update and delete records in that table.
Cheers
