XML Encoding Issue

[Neil Guyette]

Hi, All,

I'm trying to take an xmldocument and output it to html (email). Everything
seems to work when I capture the XmlDocument to a StringWriter and past that
to the Mail objects body. When I receive the email its blank, but the
source shows complete...perfect HTML... WHY??? I think it's an encoding
problem, below is the complete method...

Thanks,

Neil Guyette
public bool Send(XmlDocument xDoc, string xslFilePath)

{

XslTransform xslTran = new XslTransform();

XmlDocument xDocFinal = new XmlDocument();

xslTran.Load(xslFilePath);

xDocFinal.Load(xslTran.Transform(xDoc, null,(XmlResolver)null));


// Create the string writer

StringWriter strWriter = new StringWriter();

xDocFinal.Save(strWriter);

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

mail.From = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["MailerSender"];

mail.Priority = MailPriority.High;

mail.To = _EmailAddr;

mail.Subject = _Subject;

mail.Body = strWriter.ToString();

mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;

SmtpMail.SmtpServer =
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["MailerServer"];

SmtpMail.Send(mail);

return true;

}

return false;

}

After this line:

mail.Body = strWriter.ToString();

You may save the string in a txt file and check if there are any invalid
charactors in it. Additionally, what is your mail client to open the email?
If you just send an email in HTML format (whitout convert from XML
document), can this work?
