Extending the default membership provider in asp.net mvc 2.0?

Use the profiles feature. That's what it's for.

You can utilize the profiles like @Craig Stuntz mentioned but I find it cumbersome if you have a large number of fields or need to query it frequently.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
