send html template from windows form

Question

Guys I'm trying to change a place holder in an external HTML template then email as a body. I can get this working fine but I'm struggling to get it to read an external html file from url with streamreader. I'm assuming I would need to use WebRequest instead of streamreader to get the remote html file? below is my code: using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(http://mytemplate)) { body = reader.ReadToEnd(); } body = body.Replace({CompanyName} companynameTextBox.Text);

Try below code: private string RemoteFileUsingClient(string url) { string body = string.Empty; using (WebClient client = new WebClient()) { try { Stream stream = client.OpenRead(url); if (stream != null) { body = reader.ReadToEnd(); } stream.Close(); } catch { // Log Error body = ; } } return body.Replace({CompanyName} companynameTextBox.Text); }
