Try these three ways to send email to user to active his account to be able to login to website
————–First Way ————-
protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Send email to user for verifying account
CreateUserWizard cuw = (CreateUserWizard)sender;
MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(cuw.UserName);
Guid userId = (Guid)user.ProviderUserKey;
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage EmailMsg = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(“info@ask.com”, CreateUserWizard1.Email);
EmailMsg.Subject = “Email Verification from ask.com”;
EmailMsg.IsBodyHtml = true;
EmailMsg.Body = “Thanks for registering with www.ask.com!<br /><br />Your activation link : <a href=http://www.ask.com/activate.aspx?ID=” + userId.ToString() + “>Link</a>.”;
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient mailClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
//This object stores the authentication values
System.Net.NetworkCredential basicAuthenticationInfo = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(“smtpserverinfo”, “smtpserverpassword”);
mailClient.Host = “mail.ask.com”;
mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
mailClient.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo;
mailClient.Send(EmailMsg);
}
and in activate.aspx:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Guid oGuid = new Guid(Request.QueryString["ID"]);
//Guid oGuid = new Guid();
MembershipUser oUser = Membership.GetUser(oGuid);
if (oUser != null && oUser.IsApproved == false)
{
oUser.IsApproved = true;
Membership.UpdateUser(oUser);
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(oUser.UserName, false);
}
}
———Second Way———–
My code looks like:
protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Send email to user for verifying account
CreateUserWizard cuw = (CreateUserWizard)sender;
MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(cuw.UserName);
Guid userId = (Guid)user.ProviderUserKey;
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage EmailMsg = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(“info@ask.com”, CreateUserWizard1.Email);
EmailMsg.Subject = “Email Verification from ask.com”;
EmailMsg.IsBodyHtml = true;
EmailMsg.Body = “Thanks for registering with www.ask.com!<br /><br />Your activation link : <a href=http://www.ask.com/activate.aspx?ID=” + userId.ToString() + “>Link</a>.”;
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient mailClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
//This object stores the authentication values
System.Net.NetworkCredential basicAuthenticationInfo = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(“info@ask.com”, “password”); //what is this “password” for??
mailClient.Host = “mail.ask.com”;
mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
mailClient.Credentials = basicAuthenticationInfo;
mailClient.Send(EmailMsg);
}
and in activate.aspx:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Guid oGuid = new Guid();
MembershipUser oUser = Membership.GetUser(oGuid);
if (oUser != null && oUser.IsApproved == false)
{
oUser.IsApproved = true;
Membership.UpdateUser(oUser);
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(oUser.UserName, false);
}
}
