I program in vb
I was wondering if someone can direct me to a good quality tutorial on the process of registering and sending an activation link to the user's email address. I can't seem to find any useful tutorials online!
I have to validate the email addresses. For that an email containing verification link is sent to the candidates while registering. By clicking the link the database will be updated with the status of email id as verified. How can I pass the username or other details of the candidates through the verification link? I am using asp.net with c# coding.
View 1 RepliesI've been programming with VB for a little over 2 years, however have never had any formal education. So the extent of my education is as follows:
I want to know how to do a mouseover for an image on my webpage, I look online for someone who's done it in VB and I try and duplicate their code and then play with it until I get the results I want.
So as you can see there is a wealth of VB coding that simply escapes me because I just haven't desired to include it or needed to include different aspects of VB in my programs / web developments. What I want now is big enough that so far (one week of online searches) I've uncovered no site or forum that has given me a tutorial on how to go about implementing what I want into my Microsoft Web Development project. The old sources for information are only good for one or two aspects of a coding procedure, not an entire overhaul of my current .aspx files. Not to mention a bias towards hard coding in pure <html>, I get a lot of that when someone doesn't have the patients to address my question.
When I created my new project it automatically populated an Accounts folder with a Changepassword.aspx, Changepasswordsuccess.aspx, registration.aspx, and Login.aspx. I've successfully prevent the program from logging in the user after they register with a simple " ' " before an authentication line in the registration.vb code; however, the login.vb code and the login.design.vb code is simple beyond me, and I've yet to find a site that spells it out for me.
I've created an online test. However, the intent is to have the users only take the test once, thus after they register with their email address I want my site to send them an email with an account activation link. Once they click on this link by visiting their inbox they can then take the test.
How to send email to users registered to our site and approve their account?
View 1 RepliesI want to send a confirmation email to the user after they register to my website. I am using CreateUserWizard of .NET and I use C#.
My idea is after users register they get an email with a link. If they click the link, they will come to an activation page. I have done this so far:
Register.aspx:
[Code]....
[Code]....
After Guid userId = (Guid)user.ProviderUserKey;
I am very confused and not sure what to do. I understand that i need to email an url with the userID to user's email upon registration, but how to do this, and when user clicks that url in that email, how that url will automatically come to activation page?

View 1 RepliesI have this web application built. I am using windows authentication for this application. I have to log all the user activity as wells as site activity in this application. I have the below mentioned class established to log some activity regarding the user to an SQL server database table..

I would still need to log many other items regarding the user and also the site, like the time spent by the user on the site, no: of currently logged in users on the site. Can anyone here suggest me as to how do I capture those items?? let me know if I am going in the right direction too.....?? If you can provide me with some links on this "user activity logging for windows authenticated applications".
I know this is a simple fix but here's my register.aspx.vb and activation.aspx.vb codes. Its given an ordinary user unauthorized permissions after activation from email link which when clicked, approves and logs them in.

View 1 RepliesI was curious how some of you are sending out an email to a new user, are you sending more then one email with username and link in one and then the password in another, are you sending everything in one email, are you sending an email to the new user at all?I'm curious because my web site is not a self registering web site, Only a supervisor can create a new user and then that user gets an email. I'm trying to figure out the best way to send the new user an email with their credentials to the site.the users are outside users (vendors) though their username is created by an internal employee

View 2 RepliesI have been searching since some days for the best approach one can have in order to allow an authenticated user to change his/her email address.
This is the code I have but apparently it doesn't work and it doesnt even gives a error. The application seems to ignore it:
Change email address:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtPassword" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:Button ID="changemailbtn" runat="server" Text="Button" />
<asp:Label ID="lblErrors" runat="server" EnableViewState="False"

Doing an activation link that the user will press to activate an account. What i wanted to ask is, the link will go to a page and it will hit the sql server to find out if it's valid.Now what i'm afraid of is that some boot can send thousands of get's in the page, forcing the sql to be active with useless data. So is there a way to protect against this? I was thinking the "lock ip" trick i did to stop users trying to log in to a site many times. Any other suggestions are welcome. Some other think also.I use a try catch in case of a get with not or wrong data.Will this affect the site in general? I mean i don't really care if someone post an invalid get and wait for the try catch, but does this affect the performance of the site in general or a session takes the memory by default and ignore any try catching that s stalling the page.

how do I grab an email address from a web form and email to that email address with the link to a webform?
Could anyone provide guidance about the common technique of sending an email to the new user -> new user clicks the link in the email -> and then the account becomes activated and ready for use?
Currently using the CreateUserWizard control in .NET v4 and a Membership db in SQL Server 2008. If I need to do this via custom code and not the CreateUserWizard that's fine. Would be nice to see expert thoughts on this common, enterprise quality, new account validation technique.

I have an online job application program that the user fills out and submits the information to our database and on the last page they give there email address so that we can send them an email that has a link that is associated with the ID that's autogenerated by the sql server database when the user submits the information, when the link is clicked it verifies to the database to keep the information submitted by that user per their autogenerated ID.
