      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Web.Profile.ProfileProviderAttribute" /> class is used to identify the profile provider for a property of a custom profile implementation. A custom profile implementation is a class that inherits from the <see cref="T:System.Web.Profile.ProfileBase" /> abstract class and defines properties for the user profile that are not specified in the <format type="text/html"><a href="ccb9bf3a-a044-464d-b89b-5cb5a3d389dd">profile</a></format> configuration element. You can specify a custom type for the user profile using the inherits attribute of the <format type="text/html"><a href="ccb9bf3a-a044-464d-b89b-5cb5a3d389dd">profile</a></format> configuration element in the Web.config file for an application, as shown in the following example.</para>
