Output asp.net masterpage webform to html email
- by Steve McCall
Hi I'm having a bit of a nightmare here!
I'mv trying output a webform to html using page.rendercontrol and htmltextwriter but it is resulting in a blank email.
Code:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb);
HtmlTextWriter htmlTW = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
page.RenderControl(htmlTW);
String content = sb.ToString();
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.Subject = "Test";
mail.Body = content;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("1111");
smtp.Send(mail);
Response.Write("Message Sent");
I also tried it by rendering a single textbox and got and error saying It needed to be within form tags (which are on the masterpage).
I tried this fix: http://forums.asp.net/p/1016960/1368933.aspx#1368933 and added:
public override void
VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control)
{
return;
}
But now the errror I get is:
VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control)': no suitable method found to override
Does anyone have a fix for this? I'm tearing my hair out!!
Thanks,
Steve
