.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / December 2007Anyway to Specify the User's Name with Membership?
Is there any way to specify a user's name using ASP.NET membership? I know there is a UserName property but that's a unique login name, and not ideal for the user's actual name. (Also, I'm going to use emails for the username.) Thanks for any suggestions.  SignatureJonathan Wood SoftCircuits Programming http://www.softcircuits.com I usually add another table user_details and join it with aspnet_Users on UserId.

If you implement your own Membership Provider derived class and database, you can add any columns and/or tables you want to, as well as any methods you wish to add to the base class.

By join, do you mean you'll create a relationship between the two tables? Originally, I thought maybe the user's name would already be part of the existing membership logic. Thanks.

No, I mean just joining tables in the from clause like select u1.LastName, u1.FirstName, a1.UserName from aspnet_Users a1 inner join user_Details u1 on a1.UserId=u1.UserId SignatureEliyahu Goldin, Software Developer Microsoft MVP [ASP.NET] http://msmvps.com/blogs/egoldin http://usableasp.net > Yeah, I'm doing something similar, although I wasn't sure the best way.

Okay, so you just mean to create the join when querying the database so that the data is all together. Great. Thanks for the clarification. This is probably what I'll be doing.

If you are already using the Membership Provider, consider using also the Profile Provider, and store the user's full name or firstname / lastname and any additional items there.

But then the user names etc go out of the schema and become cumbersome to get in a single query.

I've looked at that, but am not sure it's my best route. Thanks.
