The reason you don't see your new custom method in IntelliSense is because mmAppBase.UserMgr is of type mmUserManager. If you want to see your custom method you need to cast the User Manager to your custom class. For example:

a4UserManager UserMgr = (a4UserManager)mmAppBase.UserMgr;

If I understand you correctly, you should be able to accomplish this without changing MM .NET by using database sets. Check out the MM .NET Dev Guide topic "Specifying Database Sets in the Config File".
