You have to create the link in the c# file. As per my understanding, you are getting the link in email as below
http://localhost/SampleApp/CompleteRegistration.aspx
In the cs file, you have to write some cs code as below
generatedLink = ServerName +"/"+ LocalFolderName+"/"+CompleteRegistration.
Hope this helps

Hi Gopi,the server name will be my url ?i hope that is what i need you to help me understand please.

We will generally add a key value pair for servername in our web.config file
<add key="ServerName" value="test.com">
Then the next thing is the protocol whether it is http or https.

You need to use the deployed/hosted url instead of localhost.

Adding reference which can help you

You can use relative path/url so that both works . Like Request.Url.AbsoluteUri

Member 10398773 15-Jan-14 5:35am

Okey lemme try that i will give you results

Hi,after using the Request.Url.AbsoluteUri method,it adds the url of current page for registration ,how can i b able to script the url to contain the link for completeRegistration only ,This is a sample link send to email below

http://localhost:89192/Staff/Register.aspx?rwndrnd=0.6363636646446373333CompleteRegistration.aspx?id=8901b88k1-81fa-8u10-m96e-892f6aea6710

Use relative urls ..eg: .http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2540021/getting-base-url-of-web-sites-root-absolute-relative-url ...can also search for how to use relative urls

Member 10398773 16-Jan-14 3:07am

Hi,no solution yet.I need it to return to me the url without the whole string so as i can include the activation account page link
