Validating new users by way of emailWhen I new user registers on my web site I want to force them to click on a
link in a sent email to confirm that their email is correct. I have searched high and low for this but I am probably using the wrong search terms. Is this built into asp.net 2.0, or is there another way of acheiving this?

I don't believe it a good practice to try to force anyone to comply with ones wishes, do you?

Store the random number in a column on the user's row in the database table. Send a link like : http:www.mysite.com/verify.aspx?code=343244322342 in the email. If the verify code matches the one stored in the database, then activate their account. -- fiddlewidawiddum Stimp wrote:

When this page is opened, it will run code (in Page_Load) to complete the registration. -- Riki On Sun, 10 Sep 2006 Riki <r***@dontnagme.com> wrote:

I forgot to mention you should also pass the user's id in the link. e.g. http://www.mysite.com/verify.aspx?u=123&code=98765465 -- fiddlewidawiddum Sorry to be so stupid:
Would I set the 'IsApproved' bit to 0 on the users record until the email is confirmed? Can I perhaps add this as a hidden field to the default create user control?: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="IsApproved" TextMode="Password" Visible="false" Text="1" /></td> Does this then get added to the user records 'IaApproved' field?

If someone can tell me how to set the IsApproved
bit to 0 (false) within the creatuser control then please post here!
