MS SQL Query problem

I apologise in advance as I am a newbie when it comes to SQL.
I have a MS SQL 2005 database.
In the database I have two tables:

Table Name: Users
Columns: UserID, Username, FirstName, LastName, IsSuperUser, AffliateID, Email, DisplayName, UpdatePassword

Table Name: UserProfile
Columns: ProfileID, UserID, PropertyDefinitionID, PropertyValue, PropertyText, Visibility, LastUpdatedDate

Each UserID in Users can be matched to the UserID in UserProfile.
In the Table UserProfile there are multiple instances of each UserID against which is listed a unique PropertyDefinitionID and PropertyValue as shown below.

Table UserProfile
Record 1
Profile ID: 1
UserID: 1
PropertyDefinitionID: 2
PropertyValue: 31 Gresham Street

Record 2
Profile ID: 2
UserID: 1
PropertyDefinitionID: 4
PropertyValue: London

etc etc

I would like to build a view which shows the Username from the table Users and shows on a single row all the PropertyDefintionIDs and PropertyValues from the table UserProfile.

Is that possible.

Thanks in advance.

yes it's possible

FYI the design you have is called EAV (entity-attribute-value) and it is generally considered to be a poor data model
