Question

In my application i want to be able to send an email to a user. In Email i want to have an URL- link to an application page, but url have to be generic (because i need to be able to get some data from DB, depend on generic part of email).

For example :

I send email to user with URL : http://www.testpage.com/recetpassword/Qb12T

On load of the page i need to get data from DB and for example say Welcome UserName(which i get from DB).

Bad example, but it explains what i need

Looks like you need to add a new static route in your Global.asax.cs file:

routes.MapRoute(
                "reset_password", // Route name
                "resetpassword/{id}", 
                new { controller = "SomeController",
                      action = "ChangePassword",
                      id = UrlParameter.Optional
                }
            );

Then in your Controller:

public class SomeController : Controller {

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult ChangePassword(string id){

        /* change password logic/domain calls */

        return View(/* some model */);
    }

}
