MVC HTML email template

Question

Razor does not work in html email template; This produces the image:

*<img style="border: 0;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;display: block;max-width: 600px" src="http://xxx.xx.uk/off-line/email-template-images/banner.jpg" alt="http://xxxx.xx.uk/off-line/email-template-images/banner.jpg" width="600" height="229">*

This does not:

*<img style="border: 0;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;display: block;max-width: 600px" src="@ViewBag.imageurl" alt="http://xxxx.xx.uk/off-line/email-template-images/banner.jpg" width="600" height="229">*

Note razor in SRC. How can I render the image using a reference from the controller?

Thanks, I am using Postal MVC, but src="@ViewBag.imageurl" does not work. — Richard

Postal doesn't have a ViewBag. The whole point is to pass a strongly-typed Email subclass to the view with whatever data you need on it. — Chris Pratt

I would strongly suggest that you use RazorEngine for this task. It allows you to use Razor outside of MVC. There is a tutorial here.

An example might be:

string email = "Hello @Model.Name! Thanks for registering.";
string body = Razor.Parse(email, new { Name = "Bob Smith" });
