Hi guys,

I've set up a document type and an Umbraco template for use for email templates on my site. Now I basically have a page which html I need to read and use in emails.

I found a helper which presumably does half of the work (couldn't test it yet though) here: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/code-snippets/razor-snippets/render-razor-scripts-for-emails-and-more/create-string-of-partial-view-for-emailing

public static string RenderPartialViewToString(Controller controller, string viewName, object model)
    {
        controller.ViewData.Model = model;
        try
        {
            using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter())
            {
                ViewEngineResult viewResult = ViewEngines.Engines.FindPartialView(controller.ControllerContext, viewName);
                ViewContext viewContext = new ViewContext(controller.ControllerContext, viewResult.View, controller.ViewData, controller.TempData, sw);
                viewResult.View.Render(viewContext, sw);

                return sw.GetStringBuilder().ToString();
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            return ex.ToString();
        }
    }

This method accepts a controller as a parameter, but I can't figure out how to create the controller I need.

I guess it's not the only way to do it, can anyone advice on it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S. I use Umbraco 6.1.6
