title: asp.net membership provider Guid userID
body: <p>I need (I think) to get the current logged in userID so that I can update one of my tables that uses this userID as a foreign key. The problem is that the userID in the database does not match with this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Guid currentUser = (Guid)Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey;
  currentUser.toString();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>results in dffaca0c-ae0b-8549-8073-1639985740be</p>
  
  <p>whereas when I look in the database, it is 0CCAFADF0BAE498580731639985740BE</p>
  
  <p>Why are they different values? (I only have one user). I am using an oracle database and provider for asp.net, but shouldn't make any difference.</p>
