0	Hi, Thanks for your response. but i am sorry i actually want the email part in this which will send the email to user saying that this is your new password with some random generated password. also i do not want to show the from user id and password in the coding. most of the references i have seen clearly instructs to show the from user id and pwd in the coding. i want to take the from user id and pwd dynamically. provided the domain alone will be @library.com i hope my question is correct . please help.

0	Hi If you want to Generate userid and password dynamically, you can use your own logic. lets say you want a random string for password of a particular length, private string GetRandomString(int length) { Random rndm=new Random(); var mch = Enumerable.Range(35, 2).Select(c => (char)c).Union( Enumerable.Range(49, 9).Select(c => (char)c)).Union( Enumerable.Range(64, 27).Select(c => (char)c)).Union( Enumerable.Range(97, 26).Select(c => (char)c)).ToArray(); var mcstr = Enumerable.Range(1, length).Select(a => mch[rndm.Next() % mch.Length]).ToArray(); return new string(mcstr); } Similarly you can generate a from address then append it with domain @library.com Thanks, Debata Gayathri, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Hi
If you want to Generate userid and password dynamically, you can use your own logic.
lets say you want a random string for password of a particular length,

private string GetRandomString(int length)

 {

            Random rndm=new Random();

            var mch = Enumerable.Range(35, 2).Select(c => (char)c).Union(

                      Enumerable.Range(49, 9).Select(c => (char)c)).Union(

                      Enumerable.Range(64, 27).Select(c => (char)c)).Union(

                      Enumerable.Range(97, 26).Select(c => (char)c)).ToArray();



            var mcstr = Enumerable.Range(1, length).Select(a => mch[rndm.Next() % mch.Length]).ToArray();

            return new string(mcstr);

        }

Similarly you can generate a from address then append it with domain @library.com
Thanks,
