title: ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Membership: implementing email address validation after user registration
body: <p>I'm building an ASP.NET MVC 2 site, where I want to have users verify their email address after they register.</p>
  
  <p>I want to send an email to the address with a link that the user can click to verify their email, and then handle the clicking of that link (the link will contain a specific id, of course).</p>
  
  <p>Of course, this is <strong>easy to manually implement</strong>, but <strong>is there anything already built in to ASP.NET that has such a function?</strong></p>
