Question

I have written an application that takes some HTML files exported by SSRS and sets them as the Body of an Email. However, the reports for some reason are being rendered too narrow. When I open the HTML file in a browser they appear correctly.

I was wondering what the best way to increase the width of the tables in the Email. I was thinking of parsing through the html file and adding a style tag like

<style>
table.x_MsoNormalTable {
width: 1000px;
}
</style>

to the top of the file … however I’m having trouble figuring out how to edit the html in the file, or if this solution would even work. Or if I would need to do something to the actual email body property in order to increase the width of the report.

Not sure if there’s a better way to solve this specific problem, but for editing the HTML in C# your best bet is probably the HTML Agility Pack.
