Hi all, suppose a link and a password are emailed to a user to activate the user's account after he/she registers to become a site member. A GUID is created and stored on a database. This same GUID is appended to the end of the link like the following:

C#

href="activateaccount.aspx?activatekey="sendform&uid=36308&aid=67b2f40abcd35602b422103c407443d4"

When the user follows this link, how can I extract the GUID from the link inside of the activateaccount.aspx page for verification purposes? Thanks in advance.
