How to generate a link with expiry time in MVC c#

Mark Tabor

I have an application which is of type survey for users , I want to create survey forms with 10-12 questions and i want to enable this survey for specific dates so that user can fill it out for specific dates like from 22-10-2020 to 25-10-2020 , is there any example or reference link available.

thanks in advance

hello mark there could be more easy solution of it like
public ActionResult Survey()
{
if (  (a.Start.Date >= startDate.Date && a.Start.Date <= endDate))
{
return view();
}
else
  return Content("It is expired");

}

You can achieve what you want with n number of logics , the simplest that i can think is to create a model and set mode accordingly.
if(  (a.Start.Date >= startDate.Date && a.Start.Date <= endDate))
{
MyAnchor obj=new MyAnchor();
obj.Mode="disabled";
}

public class MyAnchor
{
public string Mode{get;set;}
}

// in view

"@model.Mode=="disabled"?"#":"yourRealURL">Apply Now

//Note:- If you are using Asp.Net Identity then you can set token life
as

public class AccessTokenProvider : AuthenticationTokenProvider
{
    public override void Create(AuthenticationTokenCreateContext context)
    {
        context.Ticket.Properties.ExpiresUtc = // set the appropriate expiration date.

        context.SetToken(context.SerializeTicket());
    }
}
