MVC Membership Database Context?

How do I connect to the membership database to retrieve a list of user accounts? For example I have this to connect to my profiles:

    Private db As UserProfileDbContext = New UserProfileDbContext

    '
    ' GET: /UserProfile/

    Function Index() As ViewResult
        Return View(db.UserProfiles.ToList())
    End Function

There doesn't seem to be any user account database context specified in the account model. Should I create one, or is there a better way to retrieve all user accounts into a list like above?

Edit:

I have this code in the controller:

'
' GET: /Account/ViewRegistries

Function ViewRegistries() As ViewResult
    Return View(Membership.GetAllUsers().Cast(Of MembershipUser).ToList)
End Function

My view:

@ModelType IEnumerable(Of MyBlog.RegisterModel)

@Code
    ViewData("Title") = "Index"
End Code

<h2>Index</h2>

<p>
    @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>
            UserId
        </th>
        <th>
            CompanyId
        </th>
        <th></th>
    </tr>

@For Each item In Model
    Dim currentItem = item
    @<tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(Function(modelItem) currentItem.UserName)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(Function(modelItem) currentItem.Company)
        </td>
    </tr>
Next

</table>

But it produces an error:

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List1[System.Web.Security.MembershipUser]', but this dictionary requires a model item of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable1[MyBlog.RegisterModel]'.

How can I fix it?

You could use the membership provider:

Membership.GetAllUsers()

Once you register users this will return the list of all users in the database.
