It would be usefull if you let us know what technology you are using and where it is that you want to read this xml and why?

...because it might not even be needed to code a custom "class to read the xml data.

Use the XmlDocument class in combination with XPath expressions.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

I think the easiest thing to do would be to create a link to a printable version and convert your document into a pdf file for printing. Doing this will also give your end user the ability to save the document as well as print it. This link should point you in the right direction for get thing the libraries you need to create a pdf on the fly.

Formatting Email's body using MailMessage class

Tina P21-Mar-09 21:56

Re: Formatting Email's body using MailMessage class

21-Mar-09 21:56

Hello folks,

I'm going to be grabbing pieces of information from a page (webform, various text boxes such as Name, Number, Address etc) and need to put all that stuff together in the form of an email and fire it off to the administrator at admin@email.com.
The problem is how do i set the Body property, coz it only takes string input...since I'll be gathering info from various text boxes, I can't just set the Text property of the textbox to the Body property of teh MailMessage object. I have a feeling I have to do string manipulation here. How do I grab the values from these various text boxes and put 'em all together (perhaps one in each line) for instance like this:

Name: Dillon Edward

Num: 343

Address: 123 Main st.

Here's what I have so far:

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage("abc@yahoo.com", "admin@email.com");
msg.DeliveryNotificationOptions = DeliveryNotificationOptions.OnFailure;
msg.Subject = "Attention - There has been a new user that needs to be looked at";
msg.Body =<h2> Name </h2> I guess here I would have to do textBoxName.Text BUT HOW ;
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;

//Instentiating SMTP client
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Send(msg);

Try with this
StringBuilder_emilBody= new StringBuilder();
_emailBody.Append("<h2>This is your information</h2>");
_emailBody.Append("<br");
_emailBody.AppendFormat("Your Name : {0}" , strName ); // or txtname.Text
_emailBody.Append("<br");
_emailBody.AppendFormat("Your Address: {0}" , strAddress ); // or txtAddresss.Text

And finally

msg.Body = _emailBody.Tostring();

Hope this will help you. Smile | :)

Appending in a string builder is tedious. I'd create a HTML page with required design and put placeholders where value gets replaced. Now just read this file and replace the placeholders with real values and assign to mail body. This helps to change the mail design quickly.

Naveneeth, I'm not sure If I fully understand what you are suggesting...but the string builder approach that Abhijeet mentioined does make sense, are you aware of any potentiall problems with that...since I'm reading data not from just one location, but from different text boxes, I think putting them all together would be possible only through string builder!

Maintenance will be tough. Think about a scenario where you need to change the mail design. You have to rework the string builder appending.

Tina P wrote:

It is very simple. You create a HTML page with the required design. Put place holders, something like {name} and replace this with the real value. File.ReadAllText will give you the HTML file's content. Use String.Replace to replace the placeholder with a real value. So all the places where {name} is given will get replaced with real value.

No, He is not talking about any potential problem.

Tina P wrote:

Let me explain, If you are sending a mail to any one, you should look for proper formatting of the mail. Now for that you are using some HTML tag like BR, Table, Font etc.
But, did you ever realized how boring is it to formatting text every time using String Builder. The suggestion I have provided to you, is good for small mailing application.
But for a large content of mail and formatting you can understand what you have to do.
Here, Navaneeth suggested, You can create a HTML file with proper formatting in any HTM L editor like Front page, Dream weaver etc. Put a placeholder on that file.
You just read that file and replace the placeholder with value ( your case text box value).
This will makes the things very easier.

Exactly Navaneeth and I have done it in many cases where mail content is to large and lots of formatting are there. Smile | :)

Thank you guys, both of ya'll are great...I appreciate the help. However; this thing is pretty small (i.e. the content of the email is probably gonna be a few lines) so we should be ok there.

Thanks once again.
