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..
View 1 RepliesHow 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?
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 ..
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.
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...?
View 1 RepliesDoing 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 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 name ,address,contactno,emailid,details of enquiry labels and their respective textbox and one submit button.i just want to send all the information to my emailid(msenterprises@mseworld.in) whenever a user click on submit button..

Previously I had thread Send Mail? That helps me to send mail through Gmail credential account. Now I want to send Email through my server (suppose my server name is [URL]) so what should I do?
View 3 RepliesThe below code working fine but I dont want to pass the username and pwd at NetworkCredential. Is there any way to avoid passing username and password ? Is it mandatory that we should pass from username and password in NetworkCredential ?
SmtpClient _SmtpClient = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
MailAddressCollection _MailAddressCollection = new MailAddressCollection();
MailMessage _message = new MailMessage();
_message.From = new MailAddress("abc@gmail.com");

I am trying to send an email from our web server to a gmail account via System.Net.Mail but am failing miserably receiving this error message:
Mailbox name not allowed. The server response was:
that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) Using this code I am able to send emails to other email addresses on our Outlook email server:
[Code]....
So I know I am capable of sending email to Gmail with port 587 and using the proper credentials of my own Gmail account. That is not the problem.
The problem is I want to be able to have the mail sent from my application from whatever the user puts in the FROM (Email address): text box to a Gmail account. When I use the above code, the address that the email is sent from is my own.
So the question is: Is there any way to configure this to be able to send from an Outlook email server to a Gmail account without having to use my Gmail account to actually do it (using my credientials). Therefore showing the email as sent from whatever the user puts in the txtEmail text box, and having it sent from the Outlook server?
I know my SMTP uses the port 25 for outgoing mail and I am pretty sure that the Gmail settings block port 25 for incoming mail, which makes sense, but what doesnt make sense is I can compose a message in Outlook and send it to a gmail account, but I cannot automate this through my programming, which makes me feel certain its my programming.
Having problems sending email to a gmail account? In my web config I have it setup as:
Code:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="xxxx" deliveryMethod="Network" >
<network host="smtp.xxxx.com" password="xxx" userName="xxx" enableSsl="false" port="25" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
This works if I send it to something like my domain, but if I try this to gmail it will give me something like "secure connection required" I've tried a few different ports. I've tried 587 and it gives me the same thing. If I turn enablessl=true ports 587 and 25 will tell me secure email no supported. If I try it on port 465 it will time out.
there's a thing called "Collaboration Data Objects for Windows 2000" using System.Web.Mail, but I don't want to do that because I'm using System.Net.Mail and microsoft also when I try and compile the CDO objects it says it's now unsupported plus it doesn't work anyway. It times out when I try this:
Code:
Dim smtpServer As String = "xxxx"
Dim userName As String = "xxx"
Dim password As String = "xxx"
Dim cdoBasic As Integer = 1
[Code] ....
Really sorry because this is almost "send me the code" - although really it's "send me a link to another discussion"
I am setting up a .net membership system and need to validate users from the email address they provide via a "click here to validate your account" type link.
Just wondered if anyone knew of any good tutorials or posts out there about this? I have searched for about an hour and can't find anything - hence me asking the question.

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.
The link below outlines a technique for sending a confirmation email but does not include activation:[URL]
in my webpage forgot password is there,this forgot password contain some required field values are there
those are Email,username. in email give the information the send ,this mail contain link like
http://localhost:45705/VegaFABSWeb1412/ResetPassword.aspx this link contain the localhost
how to get www.VegaFABSWeb1412/ResetPassword.aspx
Working from home on an XP Machine, trying to configure IIS to send emails from Asp.Net via my broadband provider (BT).
Relay 127.0.0.1 enabled, so now errors are:The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.3 Client was not authenticated
Pertinent settings that I can see are (in IIS Default SMTP Virtual Server properties):
Access, Authentication (presumably app to IIS): Basic + Integrated Windows
(However Basic includes correct BT server smtp.btconnect.com -> suggests this is authentication relevant IIS to BT, not app to IIS)
Access, Relay: 127.0.0.1 added
Delivery, Outbound Security: (presumably IIS to BT) Basic Authentication
UserName: my.btusername@btconnect.com (tried with and without @domain)
Password: ***** per my account at Bt
Integrated Windows Authentication disabled
TLS Encryption NOT selected
---
I cannot see any other obvious candidates for authentication.
I presume model is Asp.Net App -> IIS (step 1) and IIS -> BT (step 2)
I presume Access, Authentication specifies step 1, and Delivery, Outbound Security handles step 2 - though why then does IIS recognise my bt server in step 1?
