Question

sending mail along with embedded image using asp.net

Answer 1

A:

I don't think it's possible without third-party components,unless you do all the hard work yourself: you have to create a multi-part message and have the HTML refer to the proper cid: (embedded content) elements.

The EasyMail.NET component made by Quiksoft allows you to send out HTML mails with embedded images. I've used it for years and it works beautifully.

So why don't you put your money where your mouth is, and show us the code?

The code is above in the winning answer. :)

Answer 2

+4 A:

If you are using .NET 2 or above you can use the AlternateView and LinkedResource classes like this:

string html = @"<html><body><img src=""cid:YourPictureId""></body></html>";
AlternateView altView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(html, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);

LinkedResource yourPictureRes = new LinkedResource("yourPicture.jpg", MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg);
yourPictureRes.ContentId = "YourPictureId";
altView.LinkedResources.Add(yourPicture);

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.AlternateViews.Add(altView);

Hopefully you can deduce the VB equivalent.

Sometimes it happens ;)
