Step 5

Finally open your randompass_demo.aspx.cs file to write the code to make the application as we designed it.

Randompass_demo.aspx.cs
  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;  
  4. using System.Web;  
  5. using System.Web.UI;  
  6. using System.Web.UI.WebControls;  
  7. using System.Net;  
  8. using System.Net.Mail;  
  9. using System.Data;  
  10. using System.Data.SqlClient;  
  11.   
  12.   
  13. public partial class _Default: System.Web.UI.Page {  
  14.     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {  
  15.         GeneratePassword();  
  16.     }  
  17.   
  18.     public string GeneratePassword() {  
  19.         string PasswordLength = "8";  
  20.         string NewPassword = "";  
  21.   
  22.         string allowedChars = "";  
  23.         allowedChars = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0";  
  24.         allowedChars += "A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,";

  27.   
  28.         char[] sep = {

  31.         string[] arr = allowedChars.Split(sep);  
  32.   
  33.   
  34.         string IDString = "";  
  35.         string temp = "";  
  36.   
  37.         Random rand = new Random();  
  38.   
  39.         for (int i = 0; i < Convert.ToInt32(PasswordLength); i++) {  
  40.             temp = arr[rand.Next(0, arr.Length)];  
  41.             IDString += temp;  
  42.             NewPassword = IDString;  
  43.   
  44.         }  
  45.         return NewPassword;  
  46.     }  
  47.   
  48.     protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e) {  
  49.         // to save the username and password in database  
  50.         SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@  
  51.         "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");  
  52.         SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into tbl_data(username,email) values (@username,@email)", con);  
  53.         cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("username", TextBox1.Text);  
  54.         cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("email", txtEmail.Text);  
  55.         con.Open();  
  56.         int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();  
  57.         con.Close();  
  58.   
  59.   
  60.         // to send the random password in email  
  61.   
  62.         string strNewPassword = GeneratePassword().ToString();  
  63.   
  64.         MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();  
  65.         msg.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");  
  66.         msg.To.Add(txtEmail.Text);  
  67.         msg.Subject = "Random Password for your Account";  
  68.         msg.Body = "Your Random password is:" + strNewPassword;  
  69.         msg.IsBodyHtml = true;  
  70.   
  71.         SmtpClient smt = new SmtpClient();  
  72.         smt.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";  
  73.         System.Net.NetworkCredential ntwd = new NetworkCredential();  
  74.         ntwd.UserName = "[email protected]"; //Your Email ID  
  75.         ntwd.Password = ""; // Your Password  
  76.         smt.UseDefaultCredentials = true;  
  77.         smt.Credentials = ntwd;  
  78.         smt.Port = 587;  
  79.         smt.EnableSsl = true;  
  80.         smt.Send(msg);  
  81.         lblMessage.Text = "Email Sent Successfully";  
  82.         lblMessage.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.ForestGreen;  
  83.   
  84.     }  
  85. }  
So here we made a GeneratePassword() method and called it in the section to send mail, so when you click on the button, the code will eventually save your username and email and it also sends the password to your respective mail id.

Here I gave the input as username = Nilesh and email as = [email protected], it will save that to the database and the password will be generated and sent to the mail id.
