i suggest converting gridview html using function such as:

private function gridviewtohtml(byval gv gridview) string     dim sb new stringbuilder     dim sw new stringwriter     dim hw new htmltextwriter(sw)     gv.rendercontrol(hw)     return sb.tostring() end function 

then call function , add body of email.
