how to change default connection string of profilebase

Question

I'm using the Profile Feature in my web application. I got a helpful article at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/290929/Using-ASP-Net-Profile-Feature-in-a-Web-Application. According to this article I coded my web.config , a custom profile class, a profile info class. Following is my code.

My Code

web.config

<profile enabled="true" inherits="app_DeliverMatic.UserProfile" defaultProvider="ProfileProvider">
  <providers >
    <add name="ProfileProvider" applicationName="delivermatic" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
  </providers>
</profile> 

<connectionStrings>
    <clear/>
    <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=mydb;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=uid;Password=pass;"/>
</connectionStrings>  

UserProfile.vb

Public Class UserProfile
    Inherits ProfileBase

    Public ReadOnly Property UserProfileInfo As UserProfileInfo
        Get
            Return DirectCast(GetPropertyValue("UserProfileInfo"), UserProfileInfo)
        End Get
    End Property

    Public Shared Function GetProfile() As UserProfile
        Return DirectCast(HttpContext.Current.Profile, UserProfile)
    End Function

    Public Shared Function GetProfile(ByVal UserName As String) As UserProfile
        Return DirectCast(Create(UserName), UserProfile)
    End Function

End Class

End Class  

Code To Use The Profile Provider

Dim profile As UserProfile = UserProfile.GetProfile(lblEmail.Text)
With profile.UserProfileInfo
    .Address1 = txtAddress1.Text
    .Address2 = txtAddress2.Text
    .City = txtCity.Text
    profile.Save()
End With

My Problem
The above code works just fine. But the problem is, if I set the connection string name to anything I want, it gives error. When changing the connection string name I also setting the "connectionStringName" attribute of the profile provider to the new name. It seems that the ProfileBase class works only with connectionStringName set to LocalSqlServer. How can I get rid of this problem?

Answer 1

Solved it. Added <clear/> just before adding the profile provider.

<providers>
  <clear />
  <add name="ProfileProvider" applicationname="delivermatic" connectionstringname="myCon" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</providers>
