Dynamics Ax 2009, Email Templates

Question

I have created an email template in Ax, using the %varname% as a placeholder for items added to the map when you send the email with this:

emailParameterMap.insert("modifiedBy", userFullName);
emailParameterMap.insert("vendorName", vendorName);

SysEmailTable::sendMail("VendChanges", "en-us", "user@domain.com", emailParameterMap);

But, I want to have a list of an unknown number of items in the email result that is sent.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can define your e-mail template with XSLT layout rather than HTML, to render a list of data.

But you will have to write your own code to generate for the XML you pass to SendMail as the _xmlData parameter. And you will of course also have to define the XSLT itself, for transforming the XML.

Answer 2

I can't help thinking you will be better off using System.Net.Mail for this. Check out this blog article: http://hiyajac.blogspot.com/2010/06/sending-emails-from-dynamics-ax.html
