ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Membership: implementing email address validation after user registration

Question

I'm building an ASP.NET MVC 2 site, where I want to have users verify their email address after they register.

I want to send an email to the address with a link that the user can click to verify their email, and then handle the clicking of that link (the link will contain a specific id, of course).

Of course, this is easy to manually implement, but is there anything already built in to ASP.NET that has such a function?

Answer 1

as already described in the comment from jim Lamb, their is no built in functionality in the memberShip provider. In 1 of my previous jobs, I followed the example given by the guys from Rolla - Examining ASP.NET's Membership, Roles, and Profile .
