Load HTML File Into Email Message Body

           using (System.IO.StreamReader sr1 = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"C:\TestFile.htm"))
            {
                string contents = sr1.ReadToEnd();
            }

That will get you the contents of the file :-)

Automate TextBox Form Mail:
I almost have this figured out, but theres a snag. Unsure how to get TextBox.Text as you'll see below:
[This works]
string emailer = File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("~/emailtempl.htm"));

emailer = emailer.Replace("[txtFullName]", txtFullName.Text);
emailer = emailer.Replace("[txtEmailAddr]", txtEmailAddr.Text);
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(Server.MapPath("~/emailer.htm"), emailer);
 [This does NOT work]
string emailer = File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("~/emailtempl.htm"));
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    string txtPattern = Regex.Match(emailer, @"(?<=\[)txt(.*?)(?=\])", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).ToString(); //ie... matches [txtFullName]
    emailer = emailer.Replace("[" + txtPattern + "]", ((TextBox)(FindControl("txtPattern"))).Text); // error: object not set to the instance...
}
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(Server.MapPath("~/applyEmailer.htm"), emailer);

Try something like this to suit your needs. By using a MatchEvaluator, you can customize the retrieval of your replacement string in a nice method that uses the matched token value to find your text boxes.

I use this technique to replace tokens with data from the following: IDataReader, DataSet, DataTable, Hashtable, the property on an Object, etc.

private string EvaluateMatchForTextBoxInput(Match match) {
	string Result = null;
 
	// Find the matched item on the form.
	TextBox Input = FindControl(match.Groups[1].Value) as TextBox;
	if (Input != null)
		Result = Input.Text;
	else
		Result = "[ missing data ]";
 
	return Result;
}
 
...
string EmailBody = File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("~/emailtempl.htm"));
EmailBody = Regex.Replace(EmailBody, @"\[(\w+)\]", new MatchEvaluator(EvaluateMatchForTextBoxInput), RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.Multiline);
...

Okay, I'll give it a try. Thank you..
