Sending Newsletter using template .Net Core

After a long time searching i cam across this answer which enabled my to get the answer i was looking for. First i add this code to my constructor

 public class PostsController : Controller { private ICompositeViewEngine _viewEngine; public PostsController(ICompositeViewEngine viewEngine) { _viewEngine = viewEngine; } } 

To render the view as a string i use this function

 private async Task<string> RenderViewToString(string viewName, object model) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(viewName)) viewName = ControllerContext.ActionDescriptor.ActionName; ViewData.Model = model; using (var writer = new StringWriter()) { ViewEngineResult viewResult = _viewEngine.FindView(ControllerContext, viewName, false); ViewContext viewContext = new ViewContext( ControllerContext, viewResult.View, ViewData, TempData, writer, new HtmlHelperOptions() ); await viewResult.View.RenderAsync(viewContext); return writer.GetStringBuilder().ToString(); } } 

and i call it like this var renderedView = await RenderViewToString("NameOfView", Model); The model is the data i want to display.

var mimeMessage = new MimeMessage(); mimeMessage.From.Add(new MailboxAddress("email", "[email protected]")); foreach (var item in contacts) { mimeMessage.To.Add(new MailboxAddress(ToAdressTitle, string.Join(",", item.Email.ToString()))); } mimeMessage.Subject = Subject; var builder = new BodyBuilder(); // Set the html version of the message text builder.HtmlBody = renderedView; // Now we just need to set the message body and we're done mimeMessage.Body = builder.ToMessageBody(); 

This enables me to get the desired view.
