Rendering an UserControl inside a mail body without any page object reference

[Henri]

Hi
I would like to use a User Control to render the body of the mail I send.
I know how to do that using Page.LoadControl
The problem is that my application is not an ASP.NET page so I can't use any
Page object reference to call LoadControl
What should I do ?
Thanks

Give the user control a class name. You can do that in the control directive
(in the ascx file):
<%@ Control Language="VB" Class="myUserControl" %>

Then, in the page that sends the mail, register the user control.
You can do that by adding the control to your page once, and then removing
it again.
This will add the register directive to the page.

Then you can use this line instead of Page.LoadControl (VB.NET):

Dim myControl1 As New myUserControl()
