Web Forms :: How To Send User Confirmation Email After Registration With Activation Link
Jan 21, 2010
I 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?
how can i implement new user Email verification in regsitration form. It should be like, when user clicks on Submit button, an email sent to the user email id with an autogenerated code and a redirect link ..
How to send a registration link in email upon new event creation? there has to be some ID associated with it so that when a new user clicks on registration link a page opens up with the specific event details..
I'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.
( memberID int IDENTITY (2480,39) PRIMARY KEY, memberName nvarchar(70) NOT NULL, password nvarchar(30) NOT NULL, eMail nvarchar(100) NOT NULL, notify bit NOT NULL, isActive bit NOT NULL, lastLogin datetime DEFAULT GetDate(), dateCreated datetime DEFAULT GetDate() NOT NULL );
Once user fill registration form that consists of:
memberName, password, email and check/uncheck notify box then click submit. The values will be stored in the above table with isActive equals to False. Email will be sent to user for activation, once activated, isActive will equal to true. 1. How can i send an activation link to the email and then change isActive to True once link is clicked? I tried to solve it, i just didn't get it yet.
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 found a tutorial on how to setup a user will be emailed an activation link when registering [URL]. What I want is modify it so that the email is sent to the administrators for activation.
After a user creates their account with the create new user wizard, I would like to have a confirmation email sent that requires them to click on a link in the email to confirm their account and verify their email address before account is activated.
There has to be a simple way to send a confirmation email to new users. Every article that I've read really doesent tell me how to use the sendingmail event. In addition when I had it working, it wouldnt send emails to places like gmail or aol.

This is the current response I get when is set custom errors mode to Off

I have create user wizard control on my page as below with mail definition setup to send a welcome email to new registerd user.
<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server" requiresQuestionAndAnswer= "false" oncreateduser="CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser" LoginCreatedUser="False"> <MailDefinition BodyFileName="~/EmailTemplates/CreateUserWizard.txt" From="myemailaddress" Subject="New User"> </MailDefinition> <WizardSteps> <asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID="CreateUserWizardStep1" runat="server" > <ContentTemplate> layout content here </ ContentTemplate> </WizardSteps > </asp:CreateUserWizard > Problem is I am not receiving the welcome email. To test it, I placed another create user wizard on another page in its default form as below <asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server"> <MailDefinition BodyFileName="~/EmailTemplates/CreateUserWizard.txt" From="myemailaddress" Subject="New User"> </MailDefinition> <WizardSteps> <asp:CreateUserWizardStep runat="server" /> <asp:CompleteWizardStep runat="server" /> </WizardSteps> </asp:CreateUserWizard>
This one worked and I got welcome email. The setup in Web Config is correct. Is it because I have the oncreateduser="CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser" or some other conflict issue.
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.
I've searched so much and tried so many differnet solutions, I can't get it to work. I have tried the MailDefinitions in the <CreateUserWizard> tag, and I have also tried to send the email in the code behind for the OnCreatedUser Event.Oddly enough, I have a Contact Us page, and emails send fine from it, but I can't for the life of me get a simple user confirmation email to send.
Im currently trying to send an email confirmation once a user signs up. Ive looked at links already on the asp.net forums and have had no luck getting it to function. My Sign up page reads data to a SQL Server correctly, what im trying to do is when they click BtnSignUp they will automatically be sent an email confirning that they registered. within my database I have a table "tblUser" and the field within it are "Email" "Password".
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.
Protected Sub RegisterUser_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles RegisterUser.CreatedUser FormsAuthentication.SignOut() If _group IsNot Nothing Then
Function send_mail(ByVal mail_id) Try Dim smtp_client = "smtp.net4india.com" Dim password = "omport$10" ' Dim email_id = "mail@relishspices.com" Dim email_id = "net@omport.com"
[Code] ....
I can send a simple text mail but i am unable to send link through email.whats wrong in the code?
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC 2 site, where I want to have users verify their email address after they register.
I want to send an email to the address with a link that the user can click to verify their email, and then handle the clicking of that link (the link will contain a specific id, of course).
Of course, this is easy to manually implement, but is there anything already built in to ASP.NET that has such a function?
i want to use activation link, as when user registered itself, i'll send activation link on his mail-id, and when he click that activation link, then his account will actived...?
