Emailing rows of text into an E-mail body.

To all,

I was wondering if someone has sample VB.NET code that will help me send
rows of a gridview into a body section of an e-mail. My goal is to present
multiple rows within a gridview to a table like format within an e-mail
message.

Thanks for any help,
Michael
 
Hi Michael,

Short answer:

1) Create following class:

Public Class EmailReadyPage
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Public Overrides Sub VerifyRenderingInServerForm(ByVal control As
System.Web.UI.Control)
'DO NOTHING
End Sub
End Class

2) Inherit your WebForm from above class.

3) In server-side code:

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Dim sb As New StringBuilder
Dim sw As New IO.StringWriter(sb)
Dim writer As New HtmlTextWriter(sw)
GridView1.RenderControl(writer)

Dim mail As New Net.Mail.MailMessage

mail.From = New Net.Mail.MailAddress(...)
mail.To.Add(...)
mail.Subject = "This is the GridView's output"

mail.IsBodyHtml = True
mail.Body = sb.ToString()

Dim smtp As New Net.Mail.SmtpClient(...)
' set smtp.Credentials if necessary
smtp.Send(mail)
End Sub
