Passing parameters via email

Question

Many applications use emails for accounts verification and other different purposes.You can see that those emails contain Buttons that redirect you to a certain page with a url parameters(ex:http://users/1234....).

How can I do the same functionality if I am constructing the email programmatically using MailMessage utility.

Answer 1

Basicly the Confirmation you talking about is a process. So, for example,

• create a user with a guid and a ConfirmationDate in a database table.
• sent a mail with a link and the guid
• if the user clicks the link you set the ConfirmationDate
• if the user has a ConfirmationDate (not null) the user has confirmed

Answer 2

Set mail.IsBodyHtml to true and use HTML.
