Would it be a good idea, and executable, to use the ASP.NET MVC View Engine to render html to be sent out by email?
I know it’s possible to let the view render into a string. So that could be use to build the mail message.
Since ASP.NET MVC is already used in the application, I get to use all practical ASP.NET MVC stuff without having to use Brail or NVelocity for my “mail views”.
Good idea? Any caveats? Examples 🙂 ?
Yes it is a good idea and relatively easy to implement.
