Where is the best place to store user related data in asp.net?

Question

When a customer logs in to my site, I need to know their account id and their menu id. This lets me know what data they can see on a page and what menu they get. I don't want to have to read this data over and over. Should I store this in a session variable or customize the membership user and membership provider to contain this information?

Answer 1

As already suggested, the profile system is super easy.

I've used MS Table Profile Provider which allows you to specify your own database table structre to store the data rather than the XML schema used in the default profile system.

This has the added bonus of allowing you to write your own data access procedures for accessing common profile data.
