asp.net - Unable to validate email token in other action -

i trying validate token using action in controller.

in 1 action, generate token , redirect action.

string token = await usermanager.generateemailconfirmationtokenasync(user.id); string userid = httputility.urlencode(user.id); string emailtoken = httputility.urlencode(token); return redirecttoaction("testtoken", new { userid = userid, emailtoken = emailtoken }); 

in testtoken action, decode attributes , try confirm it, result false, error invalid token.

string decodeduserid = httputility.urldecode(userid); string decodedtoken = httputility.urldecode(emailtoken); identityresult result = await usermanager.confirmemailasync(decodeduserid, decodedtoken); 

if i, instead of redirecting testtoken action, put code right after first, validation succeeds... wrong?

if @ examples provided in following links

create secure asp.net mvc 5 web app log in, email confirmation , password reset (c#)

account confirmation , password recovery asp.net identity (c#)

you see not encode

string token = await usermanager.generateemailconfirmationtokenasync(user.id); return redirecttoaction("testtoken", new { userid = user.id, emailtoken = token }); 

or decode user id or token.

public async task<actionresult> testtoken(string userid, string emailtoken ) {     //... code removed brevity     identityresult result = await usermanager.confirmemailasync(userid, emailtoken );             //... code removed brevity     return view(); }
