how to send email wth email template c#

Question

As an alternative to MailDefinition, have a look at RazorEngine https://github.com/Antaris/RazorEngine.

RazorEngine is a simplified templating framework built around
Microsoft’s new Razor parsing engine, used in both ASP.NET MVC3 and
Web Pages. RazorEngine provides a wrapper and additional services
built around the parsing engine to allow the parsing technology to
be used in other project types.

It lets you use razor templates outside of ASP.NET MVC and then write something like this (not tested):

string template =
@"<html>
<body>
Hi @Model.FirstName @Model.LastName,

Here are your orders: 
@foreach(var order in Model.Orders) {
    Order ID @order.Id Quantity : @order.Qty <strong>@order.Price</strong>. 
}

</body>
</html>";

var model = new OrderModel {
    FirstName = "Martin",
    LastName = "Whatever",
    Orders = new [] {
        new Order { Id = 1, Qty = 5, Price = 29.99 },
        new Order { Id = 2, Qty = 1, Price = 9.99 }
    }
};

string mailBody = Razor.Parse(template, model);
