Question

I am trying to send selected rows and columns of a grdiview in email and for this i am using this function to do so

Public Function gridhtm(ByVal gv As GridView) As String
        Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()
        Dim sw As StringWriter = New StringWriter(sb)
        Dim hw As HtmlTextWriter = New HtmlTextWriter(sw)
        gv.RenderControl(hw)
        Return sb.ToString
    End Function

and for sending email i am sending email like this

 email("[e-mail]", "[Cheque Approval] GM Finance Reviewed (" & TreeView2.SelectedValue & ")", "<b>Please find below the details of cheques prepared in favour of different parties.</b><br>" & _
                     gridhtm(GridView5))

Problem is that when email set it sends the overall gridview to email like this image

In this there are two rows selected with check box and also i want to skip some columns like category nature mean i want to send only selected columns in email.But i dnt have any idea to manage this so please give any idea to accomplish this.

For printing purposes, remove what you don’t want. You can redirect to a “print view page” and print from there. Also, depending on RenderControl(), you may be able to hide those items with CSS before you print.
