Asp .net MVC3 user registration

Question

I am teaching myself Asp .net MVC 3. I have reached a stage where I need to now incorporate user account system. I started with standard Asp .net MVC 3 membership provider and want to stick with it for most part and store all other user details in another table linked to users table.

However, I would like to add two features at the time of registration: 1) Confirmation Email 2) Accept T&C.

Is there an easy way to do this without building a custom membership provider?

Answer 1

Personally, I don't believe confirmations emails/terms and conditions should be part of a membership provider.

You normally would deal with things like that in your AccountController (or whatever equivalent you have).

For instance, if you have a Register action, once you've used the membership provider to save a user and everything looks good, you would then send out the confirmation email (code being triggered from the action)
