Answer 1

I assume that you know how to send emails using asp.net,

Now Your question was how to send using templates

1. You could first design a Layout for your E-mail or newsletter which ever the case may be

2.Implement a Class which basically holds the following information

class email
{

string header; // header= @”
string body;// the body may contain the actual message
string Footer;

}

you could expose some parts of the mark up as properties for convenience

class email
{

string header; // header= @”
string body;// the body may contain the actual message
string Footer;
……….properties here

public string getmail()
{
return header+body+string;

}

}

<% @Page Language=”C#” %>
<% @Import Namespace=”System.Web.Mail” %>
<%
MailMessage msgMail = new MailMessage();

msgMail.To = “[e-mail]”;
msgMail.Cc = “[e-mail]”;i
msgMail.From = “[e-mail]”;
msgMail.Subject = “Hello WOrld”;

msgMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;

Email mail=new Email;

msgMail.Body = mail.getemail()

SmtpMail.Send(msgMail);
