How to email an invoice in MVC

Question

Here is my code to send a mail, but I want to send my invoice view in mail.

MessageDetails _msg = new MessageDetails();
_msg.Body = "Your Booking is Accepted";
string userId = null;
if (booking.BookedFor != "0")
{ 
    userId = booking.BookedFor;
}
else
{
    userId = booking.UserId;
}
var code = userName.GetUserNameById(Convert.ToInt16(userId));
_msg.Destination = new string[] { code };
_msg.Subject = "Booking Confirmed";
_service.SendEmail(_msg);

How to send a Invoice View through mail?

Generally, you need to assign the content of your message to _msg.Body property. What concretely is the "invoice view" you mentioned? Is it a raw text or html or a file? Or is it an mvc view? — suwik, Aug 22 '16 at 11:43

Actually you can not send view through email. You need to convert the view to raw html then parse the html at messagebody.

If you're using Razor views - I think something like this can help you achieve your goal:

//create a view model 
var path = Server.MapPath("~/Relative/Path/To/YourView.cshtml");
var fileContent = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path);
var result = Razor.Parse(fileContent, yourViewModel);
_msg.Body = result;

You can send parameters to the razor view and generate dynamic content very easily

This method is used by me to convert Razor view to HTML

Its easy to generate and style html, very easy to test also
