Private Function GetEmailTemplate(ByVal templateName As String) As String
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(templateName))
Dim body As String = sr.ReadToEnd()
sr.Close()
sr.Dispose()
Return body

I was asked to read all Mail merge Files in an HTML Template and then perform a mail Merge.
The MailMerge Fields were like ##[Field]##.
So thought to use regex to find the fields.
The biggest task for me was to write a regex for Matching ##[Merge Fields]##.
I had to display Yes or No based on databind this is how I did it.
<asp:Label ID=”IsUserActiveCheckBox” Text=’<%# if(Eval(“IsUserActive”),”Yes”,”No”) %>’
runat=”server” />
Also Bind will not work if you are databinding it.
Here is another example where I used code behind.
in Aspx :
<asp:RadioButtonList ID=”rbGLRSearch” runat=”server” RepeatDirection=”Horizontal”
OnSelectedIndexChanged=”EnableCluster” AutoPostBack=”true” SelectedValue=’<%# GetCheckBoxValue(Eval(“GLRSearch”)) %>’>
<asp:ListItem>Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>No</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>N/A</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
in code behind :
Protected Function GetCheckBoxValue(ByVal bool) As String
If bool Is Nothing Then
Return “N/A”
ElseIf bool = True Then
Return “Yes”
ElseIf bool = False Then
Return “No”
End If
Return True
End Function
Came across this blogs.
really good collection of tools.
worth trying them.
I found this article while looking for improving the performance of ASP.NET for one of my application.
Its really good one.
I am going to try some of the stuff and see if there is a difference in performance.
Here;s the link to the blog
