Hi,

I need to load a pre defined letter template when a new view loads and fill data(data comes from a stored procedure) for some fields on the letter(like from address , to address, date, etc...).
Any kind of help is appreciated.

Hello Donthi
Here is the code sample for your problem, but in C# and ASP.Net

suppose your template is as below

XML

<table>
   <tr>
    <td>
      <strong>Dear **FullName**</strong>
    </td>
   </tr>
</table>

in the file Template.html
Now you want to show this template on another page Default.aspx

XML

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1._Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div runat="server" id="dv">

    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

on the code behind page write the following code

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.IO;

namespace WebApplication1
{
    public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
          string filetoread = string.Empty;
          filetoread  = Server.MapPath("~/Template.html");// load the pre   defined letter template
          StreamReader filestream =  (StreamReader)File.OpenText(filetoread);// Load the file into stream
         if (filestream != null)
          {
           string ReadContents = filestream.ReadToEnd();// read the stream from current position to the end of the stream
           filestream.Close();// close stream
           string FinalDoc = ReadContents.Replace("**FullName**", "Rajneesh");//Here you can can sent your own content from Stored Procedure
          }
          dv.InnerText = FinalDoc ;// your template would be loaded into div
        }
    }
}

this is just an example. hope it would help you to solve your problem.
