How to show plain format from html
Hi Imar,
From your Webshop's SendConfirmationMessage is working great in html format. I need to send email in plain format, not html. How can I do it?
Your kind advice would be appreciated.
HD
Public Shared Function GetHtmlFromControl(ByVal theControl As WebControl) As String
Dim myStringBuilder As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()
Dim myStringWriter As System.IO.StringWriter = _
New IO.StringWriter(myStringBuilder)
Dim myHtmlTextWriter As HtmlTextWriter = New HtmlTextWriter(myStringWriter)
theControl.RenderControl(myHtmlTextWriter)
Return myStringBuilder.ToString()
End Function
Public Shared Sub SendConfirmationMessage( _
ByVal theShoppingCart As ShoppingCart, ByVal orderId As Integer, _
ByVal userName As String, ByVal emailAddress As String)
Try
Dim myGridView As GridView = CreateGridView()
myGridView.DataSource = theShoppingCart.Items
myGridView.DataBind()
If myGridView.Rows.Count > 0 Then
myGridView.FooterRow.Cells(0).Text = "Totals:"
myGridView.FooterRow.Cells(3).Text = String.Format("{0:c}", theShoppingCart.Total)
Dim theSubject As String = "Your order at Sports Camps"
Dim theMessage As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText _
(AppConfiguration.ConfirmationMessageLocation)
Dim mySmtpClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
theMessage = theMessage.Replace("##ShoppingCart##", GetHtmlFromControl(myGridView))
theMessage = theMessage.Replace("##OrderNumber##", orderId.ToString())
mySmtpClient.Send("hdpark@myemail.com", emailAddress, theSubject, theMessage)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
--------
ConfirmationMessage.txt:
<html>
<head>

Hi there,
You can construct a MailMessage instance, set the Body to your plain text and IsBodyHtml to False and then send the message using the Send method of the mail client.

Hi there,
Did you look at the links I posted? You'll find example code in them:
Dim message As MailMessage = new MailMessage(
"jane@contoso.com",
"ben@contoso.com",
"Quarterly data report.",
"Plain text here.")
' optionally, set properties on message here:
' message.Body = "Plain Text Boxy" ' not necessary as it has been set in the constructor
' message.To.Add(other recipients go here)
' message.IsBodyHtml = False
Dim mySmtpClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
mySmtpClient.Send(message)
This creates a new message, sets To, Fro, Subject and Body in the constructor and uses the SmtpClient to send it.
Hope this helps,
Imar

Hi Imar,
I think it's off from my intention. My intention is at following red line.
Thanks,
HD
Dim mySmtpClient As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient
theMessage = theMessage.Replace("##ShoppingCart##", GetHtmlFromControl(myGridView))
theMessage = theMessage.Replace("##OrderNumber##", orderId.ToString())
===> Is there any way to convert html formatted message(theMessage) to plain text? <====
mySmtpClient.Send("hdpark@myemail.com", emailAddress, theSubject, theMessage)

I am not sure I understand what you're asking. The mail template is in HTML, so if you need plain text, why don't you change the HTML in the mail template to plain text?

Now you want it in HTML format? I thought you wanted it as plain text? Sorry, but I lost you....
Can you explain - in full detail - what it is that you need, and what you already have? Otherwise, I can't help much.

Thank you Imar for your kind understanding even if I made you confuse.
1. My problem is : When I email it, it displays in html code format(following #A).
2. My goal is : How can I make it display in web browser format(following #B), not code style format(following #A).
Your kind advice would be kindly appreciated.
#A code style format :
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Order at Sports Camps WebShop</title>
</head>

In that case, you should be able to do it the way you;re doing it now.
Here's how it works:
1. Create a Body that contains HTML
2. Set IsBodyHtml to true
If the text ends up looking like HTML, rather than the visual representation of it, you have a mail client that does not support HTML.
What client are you using?
