In this article a class of closed convex sets in the Euclidean $n$-space which are the convex hull of their profiles is described. Thus a generalization of Krein-Milman theorem\cite{Lay:1982} to a class of closed non-compact convex sets is obtained. Sufficient and necessary conditions for convexity, affinity and starshapedness of a closed set and its boundary have been derived in terms of their boundary points.
