How to set up membership database tables created by ASP.NET?

Question

I want to add custom columns to some tables created by ASP.NET. For instance; I need to add two fields, such as FirstName and LastName, to the aspnet_Membership table.

I can add this directly by editing the table, but

• Is it right to do this (I mean: expanding the table directly) OR should I create a separate table and store additional user data?

• How can I see these custom database fields as properties when the code completes? example: membershipuser.FirstName;

thank.

you can also go with a membership provider starter kit if your MVC'ish application is on codeplex

Answer 4

I recommend that you create a custom membership provider if your application needs features that go beyond the basics provided by the ASP.NET membership provider.
