Why does the ProfileCommon class depends on the <properties> tag in web.config

I was just trying to use the ProfileCommon class and I came accross this strange error. Here is my web.config file with the correct Profile object settings.

 <anonymousIdentification enabled="false" />
    <profile enabled="true" defaultProvider ="ProfileSqlProvider">
      <providers>
        <add name="ProfileSqlProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider,

 System.Web, Version=2.0.3600.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

 connectionStringName="ConnectionString" />               
      </providers>
      <!--
      <properties>
        <add name="FirstName" defaultValue="??" type="string" 
             allowAnonymous="false" />       
      </properties>  
      -->
    </profile>  

Now you see that I have commented out the properties section since I don't want to use any property (You can also remove it completly).

Now in the Login control Logged_In event I wrote the following code: 

As, you can see the error says that the type ProfileCommon namespace cannot be found. This error dissappears if I include the properties. Any ideas why?
