If you are using Membership (and you should be) it's pretty simple: http://buddylindsey.com/email-account-activation-with-asp-net-membership-part-1/[^] guides you through the process.

Maintain a status column in sql as 0.After clicking the activation link update the status as 1.If the user doesn't click the link then column will remain as 0

Check the status when user login.

Another way is, generate random Password at the time of registration..dont get the password from the user at the time of registration... after generating send that password to his/her email, so after he/she will login into his/her account(email) and will get the password and that pass will be usefull when logging check the password from the db and user's entered password matches or not....simply the best..:)
