Punita, For starting user session, you can do something like below - On Login Page if(loginSuccess) { Session["Admin"] = true; } else { Session["Admin"] = false; } On Logout Page if(logOut) { Session["Admin"] = false; } ON all pages check below - if(Session["Admin"] = true) { //Show Page Content }

For this you will need to do some Db handling. Follow the following steps - 1. Create new table in Db with 2 fields (UserID, RandomNumber) 2. Create a new page that will validate the user with the link.(For ex - step2.php/step2.aspx) 3. Whenever user registers, add a new record in Db with a random number and created UserID. 4. Send email to user with the same random number generated as a query string. For ex - http://www.abc.com/step2.php?q=random_numer 5. In Step2.php page, get the query string and validate the user from the table created in step 1. 6. If it validates, delete this record and mark the user as Active. HOpe this helps. For more questions, please revert!

Few points in the code below -- 1. I do not see any place where you're saving the user Info to database. 2. I understand that you are having the Confirm and Continue buttons on the same page where user registers. 3. I am commenting few sections in code below. Please read for better implementation. protected void btn_Confirm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { if (!txt_UserName.Text.Equals("") || txt_Email.Text.Equals("" ) || txt_ConfirmEmail.Text.Equals("")) { if (txt_Email.Text.Equals(txt_ConfirmEmail.Text)) { Guid g = Guid.NewGuid(); Globals.strPassword = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N").Substring(0, 12); MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); mail.To.Add(txt_Email.Text); mail.Subject = "About the confirmation of your registration."; string Body = "Welcome to our site! " + txt_UserName.Text + " ,this is your confirmation code: " + Globals.strPassword; //In the above line, you are sending just the GUID to the user as confirmation code. No problems. But you are storing this GUID as a global variable that may be either static or shared by every object in your ASP.Net page. Thus, if 2 users are registering on your page, you're not sure which confirmation code belongs to which user. Therefore, as I mentioned earlier, please store the user info in database as well as this Confirmation code with the userID generated by database. Instead of sending the ConfirmationCode, send the below line : string Body = "Welcome to our site! " + txt_UserName.Text + " ,click on the below link ot confirm /Confirm.aspx?id= &code= '"; mail.Body = Body; //Attachment at = new Attachment("~/TextFile.txt"); //mail.Attachments.Add(at); mail.IsBodyHtml = true; SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(); smtp.EnableSsl = true; smtp.Send(mail); lbl_Error.Text = "Mail Send..."; txt_ConfirmationCode.Enabled = true; btn_Continue.Enabled = true; } else { lbl_Error.Text = "Email mismatch!"; txt_ConfirmEmail.Focus(); } } else { lbl_Error.Text = "All fields are complusory."; txt_UserName.Focus(); } } catch (Exception ex) { lbl_Error.Text = ex.Message; } } Put the below code in Page_load on a different page (Confirm.aspx) as present in link. The page name you are sending in link and this page name should match. protected void Page_load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Here get the UserID of the user and the confirmation code var code=Request.QueryString["code"]; var userID = Request.QueryString["id"]; //Validate from DB here with these details. if (SUCCESS FROM DB) { Response.Redirect("~/UserDetail.aspx"); } else { lbl_Information.Text = "Code does not match! Try again."; } }

Not really! You can run the application and send the email. From email, when you'll click it will opena link something like "http://localhost:1234/Continue.aspx?id=1&code=12345" and since your application is running, it will find the page to run :)

Hello Sir, I am trying to solve this thing in way like this, I am sending the user random number by mail and user have to type that code in the form. I want the user to get registered(entry in database) when the code entered by him get matched else not. For that I have to check the code in the same page...but i want to check it in the next page. How to handle the data entry? I am developing it in 3 tier approach. public partial class NewUser : System.Web.UI.Page { public static class Globals { public static string strPassword = ""; } protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { } protected void btn_Confirm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { if (!txt_UserName.Text.Equals("") || txt_Email.Text.Equals("" ) || txt_ConfirmEmail.Text.Equals("")) { if (txt_Email.Text.Equals(txt_ConfirmEmail.Text)) { Guid g = Guid.NewGuid(); Globals.strPassword = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N").Substring(0, 12); MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); mail.To.Add(txt_Email.Text); mail.Subject = "About the confirmation of your registration."; string Body = "Welcome to our site! " + txt_UserName.Text + " ,this is your confirmation code: " + Globals.strPassword; mail.Body = Body; //Attachment at = new Attachment("~/TextFile.txt"); //mail.Attachments.Add(at); mail.IsBodyHtml = true; SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(); smtp.EnableSsl = true; smtp.Send(mail); lbl_Error.Text = "Mail Send..."; txt_ConfirmationCode.Enabled = true; btn_Continue.Enabled = true; } else { lbl_Error.Text = "Email mismatch!"; txt_ConfirmEmail.Focus(); } } else { lbl_Error.Text = "All fields are complusory."; txt_UserName.Focus(); } } catch (Exception ex) { lbl_Error.Text = ex.Message; } } protected void btn_Cancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.Redirect("~/Login.aspx"); } protected void btn_Continue_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { var code=txt_ConfirmationCode.Text.Trim(); if (code.Equals(Globals.strPassword)) { Response.Redirect("~/UserDetail.aspx"); } else { lbl_Information.Text = "Code does not match! Try again."; txt_ConfirmationCode.Focus(); } } } By ur way i m not getting the thing how to manage the query string and all.....:) Suggest me the right way...
