I'm trying to programmatically send an email of all of the dll files and their versions in a directory, recursively. I'd like to send the email as HTML output, using a table. Is there a good object-oriented way of doing this? I'd hate to write all of the tags by hand.
Something like:
private string getHTMLString()
{
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("some directory");
FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles("*.dll", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(file.FullName);
string version = assembly.GetName().Version.ToString();
}
}
Something like this?
private string getHTMLString()
{
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("some directory");
FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles("*.dll", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("<table>");
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(file.FullName);
string version = assembly.GetName().Version.ToString();
sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>{0}</td><td>{1}</td></tr>", file.FullName, version);
}
sb.Append("</table>");
return sb.ToString();
}
Not really "object oriented" but I would argue the most logical.
