Where is your problem? The sending of the email. There are plenty questions and examples on the web for this. E.g. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/es-ES/a75533eb-131b-4ff3-a3b2-b6df87c25cc8/how-do-i-send-mail-using-c?forum=netfxnetcom. Or the query to run to activate? For that I assume that you have stored an activation key in the user's record of the database. Your query would look like update yourusertable set activated='true' where activationkey='keyfromactivationpage' and activated='false' Check for the number of updated records. If it's zero the activation link was not found. If it's one everything was okay and account is activated. If it's more than one you have a bug in the generation of your activation code. Or the page that processes the link? You can use request.querystring to extract the activation code from the url.
