ErnesTech | How to use a Text File as a Template to Send Email in dotnet core 2

Question

Accepted Answer

Answer:

One way to accomplish this is by creating a text file and defining your template wrapped in a pair of double hash symbols
For Example:

Name: ##Name##
E-Mail Address: ##Email##
Home Phone: ##Phone##
Comments: ##Comments##
After you create a text file in your project and have typed your template as shown in 2, then you would write your C# code like this;

using System.IO // For reading the file
using System.Net.Mail //Sending the Email

//First read the file
string myFile = Server.MapPath("~/App_Directory/YourTextFileName.txt");
string mailBody = File.ReadAllText(myFile);

mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##Name##","Jack");
mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##E-Mail Address##","jack@ernestech.com");

Go on and implement this until you see fit.
