I am trying to determine if Aspose can solve the problem that I have run into with our development. Let me describe my scenario:
I developed a Notification Delivery Service (NDS) that delivers email notifications to our users from our home-grown applications. Our applications “talk” to NDS and tell it to send out a specific notification and tells it to whom the notice should be sent.
The way it is setup, I have designed “reports” in SSRS 2008 that are the body of the email notification. Using code inside NDS, I render the report to HTML4.0 and use SQL 2008 DBMail to send the notification with the rendered report as the body. This works fine. The creation of the reports works smoothly and all is well UNTIL…
When viewing the notice in Outlook 2007, the formatting is destroyed. Versions of Outlook prior to 2007 display the notice perfectly. The problem lies with MS Outlook 2007. They changed the product so that the rendering of HTML messages uses the Word 2007 engine instead of IE 2007. SSRS 2008 renderes data in a way that IS NOT complient with OL 2007. I have tried rendering in HTML3.2 and other formats, but to no avail.
So, what I’m trying to determine is if Aspose products can solve my problem. I need to render the report in simpler (OL 2007 complient) manner and still be able to send the “report” as the body of an email either still using SQL DBMail or something in the Aspose namespace.
Please advise. If more information or clarification is need, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Glen
