I am a beginner in ASP world...

I recently read your Beginners Book of ASP 3.5...
After following the instructions of the book, now i want to create a website...

I want to know how to write code (C# ASP) so that "A mail to Activate Account" is sent to the user so as to confirm the email account (which is specified by the user) belongs to him.

Thanking you a lot for the fantastic book "Beginning ASP.NET 3.5"...

Hi there,

I don't have any ready-made code, here's the general idea:

1. Set DisableCreatedUser on the CreateUserWizard to false
2. In the CreatedUser event send out an e-mail. The mail should contain a link to a page like ActivateAccount.aspx and take the user name as a parameter
3. In ActivateAccount.aspx get the user's name from the query string and use Membership.GetUser to retrieve the user.
4. Activate the MembershipUser returned from GetUser and save the changes.

Hope this gives you a general idea.

Cheers,

Imar
