copied!<p>I've come up with a simpler solution along the lines of Ruben's advice. It has worked without problems for about a month:</p> <pre><code>//Example usage //reference the control var emailCTL = new HtmlCtl.ControlOnDisk<MyControlType>(@"~\Views\EmailTemplates\MyControlType.ascx"); //if you have a code behind you will get intellisense allowing you to set these properties // and re-factoring support works most places except the template file. emailCTL.c.title = "Hello World "; //title is a property in the code behind emailCTL.c.data = data; //data is a property in the code behind string emailBody = emailCTL.RenderStateless(); //Helper Class public class ControlOnDisk<ControlType> where ControlType : UserControl { public ControlType c; Page pageHolder = new Page(); public ControlOnDisk(string path) { var o = pageHolder.LoadControl(path); c = (ControlType)o; pageHolder.Controls.Add(c); } public string RenderStateless() { StringWriter output = new StringWriter(); // set up dumby context for use in rendering to email stream StringBuilder emailMessage = new StringBuilder(); TextWriter tw = new StringWriter(emailMessage); HttpResponse dumbyResponse = new HttpResponse(tw); HttpRequest dumbyRequest = new HttpRequest("", "http://InsertURL.com/", ""); //dummy url requierd for context but not used HttpContext dumbyContext = new HttpContext(dumbyRequest, dumbyResponse); //HttpContextBase dumbyContextBase = new HttpContextWrapper2(dumbyContext); dumbyContext.Server.Execute(pageHolder, output, false); return output.ToString(); } } </code></pre>
