Use MailMessage and SmtpClient class to build the sending mail program.
I already answered in other website. See the below link :

I’m using an array list “aPic” that holds the picture locations. I guess this code isn’t complete. The part I gave you works, but I can’t look at the rest right now.

I don’t have time to change it to C#, but I bet you could. Just paste it into your C# code and change the object declarations, etc.
Shouldn’t really be that hard. VS will underline what is wrong. I use the code to send out 4 pictures shrunken in an email body.

Private Sub sSendInvoiceEmail(ByVal strHTMLBody As String)

Dim avHtml As AlternateView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(strHTMLBody, Nothing, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html)
‘ Create a LinkedResource object for each embedded image

Dim imageResource As LinkedResource
‘For i As Integer = 0 To aPics.Count – 1
‘ newBody = newBody.Replace(imageNVC.Get(i).ToString, “cid:” & imageNVC.GetKey(i).ToString)
‘Next

‘htmlView = CreateHtmlView(newBody) ‘ text/html

For i As Integer = 0 To aPics.Count – 1

imageResource = New LinkedResource(aPics(i).ToString(), MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg)
imageResource.ContentId = “Pic” & (i)
‘imageResource.TransferEncoding = TransferEncoding.Base64
avHtml.LinkedResources.Add(imageResource)

Dim mail As New MailMessage

mail.AlternateViews.Add(avHtml)

mail.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(txtEmailFrom.Text)
mail.To.Add(New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(txtEmailTo.Text))
mail.Subject = txtSubject.Text.ToString()
mail.IsBodyHtml = True

mail.Body = strHTMLBody

I really enjoyed and learnt alot form your post. To epxand the topic further, i would like to know how would i implement the codes where i want to populate the content of the email dynamically when the user
1. click to open the email
or
2. click on a button inside the body of the email.
I would appreciate any comments or guide from any expert out there
Thank you and keep up the good post folks.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work at all for me because the .CreateMailMessage is requiring a Control to find the file, but this is running in an independent thread – so I get an error indicating that the basepath cannot be null.

Isn’t there some way to give the full url to the html file instead of relying on the call to find it on its own from a control’s basepath?

Just what I needed. I was wondering about the Alerternate View stuff since I KNOW some email programs don’t display HTML

thank you!

How do you get rid of the .dat attachment when you send mail as html? Thoughts?

I first thank you very much for this venture. But I would like to mention that I copied your code and tried to run it in visual studio. Mail is sending with out any content in body. I don’t know why the content is not coming.

I am very thankful if you send a downloadable copy of the working code is mailed to me.

When I include the
EmbeddedMailObject the HTML message body is null.

But if I exclude it, everything works. I’ve double checked my paths.

Any Ideas? Thanks
