GUI Profile -- making it available to GUI editor?

I'm trying to follow this tutorial to add profiles to my GUIs:

http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/TGB/MiniTutorials/GUIIntroToProfiles

Simple enough. But when I add code to my initializeProject() function in main.cs (I'm doing this instead of a new file just for profiles since it's quicker for testing purposes) the new profile doesn't show up in the GUI editor when I go to edit my dialog box. There are only 5 profiles available:

ExampleButtonProfile
ExampleScrollProfile
ExampleTextProfile
ExampleWindowProfile
GuiDefaultProfile

I'm guessing something has changed since when this tutorial was written, and TGB 1.7.2 was released, which I'm using, and I must place my profile-creation code in some specific place in order for the GUI Builder in the editor to "see" it. If so, where is this place? (I'm guessing if I could find where the 5 profiles above are defined, that would tell me the place, but I can't find where this is.)

The editor or common profiles aren't available to the GUI editor. The only ones that are available are the ones you specify in guiprofiles.cs inside your gamescripts directory.
