get Email Template in Controller and pass modul-Variable
Hi,

I created a controller to send a confirmation Mail like this
```
 private void SendConfirmationEmail(Modul modul){
        MailMessage message = new MailMessage(modul.Email,"[email protected]");
        message.Subject = "Subject example";
        message.Body = getEmailTemplate(modul);
        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1", 25);
        client.Send(message);

    }
```
And I want to create a function "getEmailTemplate". Where can I store the Email-Templates? Can I use the Views-Folder for it? And how can I pass and read the variables of modul?

Thank you in advance,

Nadine

You can do something like this https://github.com/TimGeyssens/MCFly/blob/master/MCFly/Core/EmailRenderer.cs

Then call it like https://github.com/TimGeyssens/MCFly/blob/master/MCFly/Controllers/MCFlyEntriesController.cs#L146

I try to reuse your the EmailRenderer-Class, but I fail on using the correct path for the view-folder. Can you help me please?

In my case, the EmailRenderer-class is in
```
App_code\Controllers\Core\EmailRenderer.cs
```
My view is in
```
Views\Partials\emails\example\template.cshtml
```
And this is my constant view path to the templatesfolder
```
private const string EmailViewPath = "~/views/partials/emails/example/";
```
But i always get false if I check viewFile.Exists
```
var viewPath = Path.Combine(EmailViewPath, viewName);
var viewFile = new FileInfo(HostingEnvironment.MapPath(viewPath));
    if(viewFile.Exists == false) {
        return viewPath;
    }
```
Thank you for your advice.

Here is the output
```
   ~/views/partials/emails/example/template
```
Maybe I have to search for "template.cshtml"?
