Creating the Password Recovery page

You can use the PasswordRecovery control to create a password recovery page in ASP.NET. The PasswordRecovery control provides an easy way to create a form for users to recover their password and automatically handles sending a password reset email to the user.

Here are the steps to create a password recovery page using the PasswordRecovery control:

Drag and drop the PasswordRecovery control onto your page from the Toolbox in Visual Studio.

Configure the control by setting its properties. For example, you can set the DestinationPageUrl property to the page that the user will be redirected to after successful password recovery.

<asp:PasswordRecovery ID=”PasswordRecovery1″ runat=”server” DestinationPageUrl=”~/PasswordRecoverySuccess.aspx”>

</asp:PasswordRecovery>

Customize the control’s appearance by adding markup to the <LayoutTemplate> section. For example, you can add labels or textboxes to collect additional information from the user.

<asp:PasswordRecovery ID=”PasswordRecovery1″ runat=”server” DestinationPageUrl=”~/PasswordRecoverySuccess.aspx”>

<asp:Label ID=”UserNameLabel” runat=”server” AssociatedControlID=”UserName”>User Name:</asp:Label>

<asp:TextBox ID=”UserName” runat=”server”></asp:TextBox>

…

</LayoutTemplate>

</asp:PasswordRecovery>

Optionally, customize the control’s behavior by handling events. For example, you can handle the SendingMail event to customize the password reset email that is sent to the user.

<asp:PasswordRecovery ID=”PasswordRecovery1″ runat=”server” DestinationPageUrl=”~/PasswordRecoverySuccess.aspx” OnSendingMail=”PasswordRecovery1_SendingMail”>

…

</asp:PasswordRecovery>

protected void PasswordRecovery1_SendingMail(object sender, MailMessageEventArgs e)

{

// Customize the password reset email

}
