I am trying to create EmailTemplates. I have been able to write the controller codes and also created a .txt file in a folder but when the mail is been sent, the users receive it as a HTML code.
Controller code
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email,
Firstname = model.Firstname, Surname = model.Surname, Gender = model.Gender};
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
var code = await UserManager.GenerateEmailConfirmationTokenAsync(user.Id);
var callbackUrl = Url.Action("ConfirmEmail", "Account", new { userId = user.Id, code = code }, protocol: Request.Url.Scheme);
string body = string.Empty;
var root = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory; using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(root + @"/EmailTemplates/ConfirmAccount.txt"))
{
string readFile = reader.ReadToEnd();
string StrContent = string.Empty;
StrContent = readFile;
//Assing the field values in the template
StrContent = StrContent.Replace("[Firstname]", user.Firstname);
StrContent = StrContent.Replace("[Surname]", user.Surname);
StrContent = StrContent.Replace("[Code]", callbackUrl);
StrContent = StrContent.Replace("[Year]", DateTime.Now.Year.ToString());
body = StrContent.ToString();
}
await UserManager.SendEmailAsync(user.Id, "Confirm Your Account", body);
return View("DisplayEmail");
}
AddErrors(result);
}
return View(model);
}
Below is the .txt file content
<!doctype html>
<html lang="tr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<p>Dear [Firstname] [Surname],</p>
<p>Kindly Confirm your Email by clicking the link below</p>
<p>[Code]</p>
</body>
The output is in form of a HTML.
The better way to send HTML formatted Email your code will be in "ConfirmAccount.htm"
<!doctype html>
<html lang="tr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<p>Dear [Firstname] [Surname],</p>
<p>Kindly Confirm your Email by clicking the link below</p>
<p>[Code]</p>
</body>
Read HTML file Using System.IO.File.ReadAllText. get all HTML code in string variable.
string Body = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("EmailTemplates/ConfirmAccount.htm"));
Replace a Particular string with your custom value.
Body = Body.Replace("[Firstname]", user.Firstname);
Call SendEmail(string Body) Function and do a procedure to send an email. Replace the Session email and Configuration app settings with your ones.
public static void SendEmail(string Body)
{
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = new MailAddress(Session["Email"].Tostring());
message.To.Add(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["RequesEmail"].ToString());
message.Subject = "Request from " + SessionFactory.CurrentCompany.CompanyName + " to add a new supplier";
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
message.Body = Body;
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
smtpClient.Host = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["SMTP"].ToString();
smtpClient.Port = Convert.ToInt32(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["PORT"].ToString());
smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["USERNAME"].ToString(), ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["PASSWORD"].ToString());
smtpClient.Send(message);
}
You can check out in message.IsBodyHtml = true SendEmailAsyn Method
