Best way to get custom profile properties

Joe,

This is how I'm doing it currently. Is there a better way - feels a bit smelly

            if (user != null) {
                var obj = user.GetProperty("MyBoolProperty", SettingsSerializeAs.String);
                if (obj != null)
                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(obj.ToString()))
                        boolProp = bool.Parse(obj.ToString());
            }

Re: Best way to get custom profile properties

That is the way to do it, but you could possibly hide the ugliness by creating extension methods for SiteUser in a custom class. Then at least consuming the properties could be done without repeating the ugly code in multiple places. I would declare a variable and only call .ToString() one time.

Hope that helps,

Joe
