Write HTML to string

Question

I have code like this. Is there a way to make it easier to write and maintain? Using C# .NET 3.5.

string header(string title)
{
    StringWriter s = new Stri         


        

Answer 1

With the introduction of Razor in ASP.net MVC, the best way to write HTML in C# is with the Razor Engine.

string templatePath = $@"{Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()}\EmailTemplates"; 

IRazorLightEngine engine = EngineFactory.CreatePhysical(templatePath); 

var model = new Notification 
{ 
       Name = "Jone", 
       Title = "Test Email", 
       Content = "This is a test" 
}; 

string result = engine.Parse("template.cshtml", model); 

Template:

Dear @Model.Name, you have a notification.
 

@Model.Title
 
@Model.Content
 

Date:@DateTime.Now
