This example code is for CreateUserWizard Account Activation Through Email Verification Confirmation Or Validation In Asp.NET.
I am explaining how to create new signup using createnewuserwizard with membership provider and sending link to activate account using C# or VB.
Read Create Log in Page Using Login Control to know how to setup membership provider.
I have created one NewUser.aspx page for signups.
One EmailVerification.aspx page to open when user clicks on the link in email sent to his emailid at the time of creating account.
Newly created accounts are deactivated by default and user won't be able to login untill he clicks on the link sent to his email id to validate, verify and activate.
First of all create a template which you want to send to users who sign up on the site. for this create a text file and write the text mentioned below and name it mail.txt.
Open NewUser.aspx page in design view and palce a CreateUserWizard control on it.
Set DisableCreatedUser property to true to deactivate new accounts untill user activate it by clicking the link.
Set MailDefinition property as mentioned below for wizard to send cenfirmation emails.
Write code mentioned below in SendingMail event of CreateUserWizard control in code behind of page.
Mail sent will look like shown below.
To activate user through EmailConfirmation.aspx page Place a label control on the page and write below mentioned code in Page_Load Event.
Build and run the application.

smtp.Send(e.Message)
error at above line
@sandeep: What error you are getting ?
string confirmationPage = "/EmailConfirmation.aspx?ID=" + newUserAccountId.ToString();
This line of code may produce some "Application'/'error". So to correct this the code must be:
string confirmationPage = "EmailConfirmation.aspx?ID=" + newUserAccountId.ToString();
The above code worked for me.

For VB Users, you will need the line

At the top of the VB Code-behind.
