So were you looking for someone to write your code for you or did you forget to ask a question about some problem you're having with yours?

So wanted to know whether it is possible to get the mail Id in mvc identity or not?I could not achieve this...so was looking for some help if anyone had faced this problem... All solution till date use the asp.net membership to achieve the same
