Newbie: using asp.net 2.0 profile in an ASP.NET web service

Hi,
Is it possible to use asp.net 2.0 profile in an ASP.NET web service ? I
want to authenticate a user via the web service and store user profile data
using ASP.NET 2.0 profile ? Is it possible at all ?
Thanks in advance and regards
NavinYes, it is possible. You hook the app up to the profile provider and then
add info from the service using the membership and/or profile bits. The main
difference is you generally do not want to hold session in web services like
you might in a web application.

Some sample code would help. In a web service, the profile keys added don't
appear as properties of Profile object but in an ASP.NET web app they do.
Thanks in advance and regards

I am having a problem with this as well
What I am trying to do is to have a textbox that a user begins to type what
he is searching for.
I am using an AutoCompleteExtender to call a method in the web service that
queries the database for the field description and pull "like" results.
The problem is that I already have a profile that handles the users profile,
but I need to add another profile for the property dragOverlayPosition.
Here is my web.config: (sorry its long)
