GetMembershipUser Helper Method for Entity Framework MVC3 Razor Custom Member Provider C# Using LINQ

From my C# MVC3 Razor Custom Membership Provider article and source code, here is the code for the GetMembershipUser Helper method. I welcome any suggestions for improvement. Since we are working with a UserProfile Entity and the Membership Provider overridable methods require we return a MembershipUser type, below we create our MembershipUser type using values from our UserProfile type so we can return the required type in our methods.
// helper method
public MembershipUser GetMembershipUser(UserProfile u)
{
    // copy pertinent UserProfile data to the MembershipUser 
   // data to be returned as a MembershipUser type
    object userIDObj = u.UserId;

    MembershipUser membershipUser = new MembershipUser(
            this.Name,
            u.UserName,
            userIDObj,
            u.Email,
            string.Empty,
            string.Empty,
            true,
            false,
            (DateTime)u.DateCreated,
            (DateTime)u.DateLastLogin,
            (DateTime)u.DateUpdated,
            (DateTime)u.DateLastLogin,
            (DateTime)u.DateLastLogin);

    return membershipUser;
}
