Thread: Using file as email body

Can I set the email body to the contents of an HTML file using ASP.NET?

I'm sure you can do it using ASP and CDOSYS, but I can't find a property in MailMessage class in .NET.

Any ideas?

Don't think so. What I've done in cases just like this is to read the mail body from a file -- In my case using an XmlReader since I do some additional processing on the file. If you want to just send a static file, a StreamReader should do.

You can accomplish this by using the System.IO namespace:

Code:

string strbodyHTML = File.ReadAllText(txtFileFullPath);

Then, simply set the Body property to strBodyHTML.

Cool. I had forgotten about that method.

Sometimes it hurts to be this good
