I never tried with a SSRS generated report but with a real Word document. I have used Aspose Words (<a href="http://www.aspose.com/products/words/net" rel="ugc">http://www.aspose.com/products/words/net</a>) to transform my .docx into a HTML document.

This worked great &nbsp;Note to get the output in HTML (not MHTML) the Reporting ServicesRsReportServer.con<wbr />fig file needs to be updated to support HTML4.0. <br />
<br />
Thanks!

We have an .Net application which connects with SQL Server 2012 Standard SSRS to generate a report in Word format. &nbsp;It then emails this document as an attachment to the user using &nbsp;System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient<wbr />.<br />

What we need to do is instead have this report set as the body of the email.

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is a server-based report generation software system from Microsoft. It can prepare and deliver a variety of interactive and printed reports and is administered via a web interface or its web service. Its web services interface also supports the development of custom reporting applications. Finally, SSRS can also be integrated with SharePoint. SSRS competes with other business intelligence tools, most prominently Crystal Reports.

SSRS

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
