Hello,

I need to develop my own AccountActivation.aspx. Therefore I need to decode userId from activation link to proper ASP.NET UserId. How can I do this?

Activation link: http://www.xyz.com/Membership/AccountActivation.aspx?userId=FOZ7ctyomU6mgKCMAQFfww

Thanks for reply.

Hello,

To decode the userId URL parameter you can use the following:

Guid decodedUserId = MonoSoftware.MonoX.UrlParams.UserId.Value.Guid;

Great, it works... Thank you very much for fast reply.

And one small question - this static variables MonoSoftware.MonoX.UrlParams.UserId has always actual parameter value set by background process?

btw, it would be nice if the discussion page title was showing the title of the thread instead of just "Mono Support - Discussion Forums". Now when you drag-drop the URL to store it as a file, you get the same filename
