Introduction: In this article today i will explain how we can send email content as attachment in PDF format in asp.net.

Description:

In the previous article I have explained Sql commands and its types, Format the emails using StringBulider in asp.net, Explain cookies in asp.net OR Explain cookies with example in asp.net and Move items from one listbox to another listbox and vice versa in asp.net.

Firstly check this article Send email in asp.net

To generate the PDF file of email content i am using iTextsharp DLL. To download the DLL Click Here.

Add the reference of DLL to your Project/website.

HTML markup:

<legend>Send Email content as PDF attachment</legend>

<table>

<tr><td>Email Sent To :</td><td> <asp:TextBox ID="txtemail" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td></tr>

<tr><td><strong>Fill below given information to send</strong></td><td></td></tr>

<tr><td>Subject</td><td> <asp:TextBox ID="txtsubject" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td></tr>

<tr><td>Email</td><td> <asp:TextBox ID="txtemailid" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td></tr>

<tr><td>Message:</td><td> <asp:TextBox ID="txtmessage" runat="server"

TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox></td></tr>

</table>

</fieldset>

On button click write the below given code (C#) :

using iTextSharp.text;

using iTextSharp.text.pdf;

using iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser;

using System.IO;

using System.Net.Mail;

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{

System.Text.StringBuilder mailBody = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

mailBody.Append("<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"2\" style=\"font-family:Arial,Verdana\"> ");

mailBody.Append("<tr><td><img src= \"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KVkKmUPkM8M/Uv8SYZ9WCKI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/PienHthBOYU/s1600/am3.png\" /></td></tr>");
