C# ASP.NET Project Idea

  #1  
Nov 6th, 2007
Hi all,
(I apologise if this thread is out-of-topic)
I need some ideas for my project.

I have to develop a web application for some users to approve some documents.
The problem I have is that I can't give these people a login account (due to my project requirement).

I have to send email(with the link to each particular form) to these people. Each webpage has more than 5 names.
I don't know how to identify the individuals and only allow them to approve against their names only.

Does anyone has any suggestions? Please help.

Send a verification code in the link which will identify them provide you maintain a record of all verification codes, once it is clicked it cannot used by anyone. You might have to maintain a table with some basic user info to whom you are emailing the form for approval.

Thanks !!
Honestly, I know nothing about verficiation code.
I've googled on it and found some code regarding generating of verification code.

May I ask if I am correct like this?

My database table
user(userId, name, email)
project(projectId, userId, status, reason, v_code)

*status = approved/rejected.

My problem now is I don't know how to generate the URL (with the v_code) in the email.

Next, how can I "disable" the link after the user has approve/reject the documents?

By the way, I'm building a web app in a Intranet environment.

Thanks for your help. =)

Do not append it in the url, rather direct them to a verification page which has a text box, where user would have to copy and paste the verification code from email.

You said this requests can goto only designated people. So is anyone allocated to a particlar project? Can the same request goto multiple people? If then you might have to add user_id in ver_code

yeah. But these people don't have a userid , so i actually gave them an id in the table approvalParties.

Erm, then I can use the apid to identify them, am i right to say so?

Yes, if app id is only for one user then you can.
