send html template from windows form

mike Delvotti

Guys,

I'm trying to change a place holder in an external HTML template then email as a body.

I can get this working fine but I'm struggling to get it to read an external html file from url with streamreader.

I'm assuming I would need to use WebRequest instead of streamreader to get the remote html file?

below is my code:

using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(http://mytemplate))

{

body = reader.ReadToEnd();

}

body = body.Replace("{CompanyName}", companynameTextBox.Text);

Try below code:

private string RemoteFileUsingClient(string url)
{
   string body = string.Empty;
   using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
   {
      try
      {
         Stream stream = client.OpenRead(url);
         if (stream != null)
         {
            body = reader.ReadToEnd();
         }

         stream.Close();
   }
   catch
   {
      // Log Error
      body = "";
   }
   }

   return body.Replace("{CompanyName}", companynameTextBox.Text);
}
