Passing parameters via email

Question

Many applications use emails for accounts verification and other different purposes.You can see that those emails contain Buttons that redirect you to a certain page with a url parameters(ex:http://users/1234....).

How can I do the same functionality if I am constructing the email programmatically using MailMessage utility.

What do you mean? Are you asking how query strings work? The buttons are just links with background colors. — SLaks, May 18 '12 at 20:36
@SLaks yes, but there is a process behind it,password reset for example.There is session like behind it or hidden fields inside the email — Sleiman Jneidi, May 18 '12 at 20:40
Wrong. There is just a querystring parameter that gets looked up in the database — SLaks, May 18 '12 at 20:41

Basicly the Confirmation you talking about is a process. So, for example,

create a user with a guid and a ConfirmationDate in a database table.
sent a mail with a link and the guid
if the user clicks the link you set the ConfirmationDate
if the user has a ConfirmationDate (not null) the user has confirmed

Set mail.IsBodyHtml to true and use HTML.
