I want to be able to send an email with an image in the body. The below code works but I can't figure out how to add image to it. Thanks for any help!
namespace Identity.Areas.Birthdays.Controllers
{
public class EmailController : ApplicationBaseController
{
private EmployeeInfoEntities db = new EmployeeInfoEntities();
public ActionResult SendEmail(int? id)
{
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
EmployeeInfo employeeInfo = db.EmployeeInfoes.Find(id);
if (employeeInfo == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
return View(employeeInfo);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SendEmail(string receiver, string subject, string message, string from)
{
try
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var senderEmail = new MailAddress("test#gmail.com");
var receiverEmail = new MailAddress(receiver, "Receiver");
var password = "*********";
var sub = subject;
var body = "<font color='red'>" + "<font size='20px'>" + message + "<br />" + "<br />" + "<font color='blue'>" + from + "</font>" + "</font>" + "</font>";
var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
Port = 587,
EnableSsl = true,
DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
UseDefaultCredentials = false,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential(senderEmail.Address, password)
};
using (var mess = new MailMessage(senderEmail, receiverEmail)
{
Subject = subject,
Body = body
})
{
mess.IsBodyHtml = true;
smtp.Send(mess);
ViewBag.Message = "Message Has Been Sent!";
}
return View();
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
ViewBag.Error = "An Error Has Occurred!";
}
return View();
}
}
}
You have to put image in your body string.
var body = "<img src='~/images/sample.jpg' /> <font color='red'>" + "<font size='20px'>" + message + "<br />" + "<br />" + "<font color='blue'>" + from + "</font>" + "</font>" + "</font>";
Make sure the images folder and sample.jpg exists.
Apologies, I realize the above won't work and you will get the broken image in the output because the string won't know that it has to render the image as well.
New solution, even better for cleaner body creation:
use this method.
https://lastloop.blogspot.com/2019/07/send-email-from-c.html
You will add the image tag as we add normally in the html but since you are sending it in the email, the image you want to add, has to be hosted somewhere. For example, like this google logo:
<img srce='https://www.google.com.pk/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png'/>
brief desc....
I have a application that has a few different pages, one page sends the user a new password, and another page that creates a new account and sends the user their username, password and activation link and two pdfs...
Problem... When testing locally, from the two separate pages, both are working fine and sending emails as expected.
Now when i have uploaded my application to the server, i test the same but only the new password email is sending to the user, and not the other email on the create new user page... Really strange.. i have tried the app on two different servers, again with the same outcome. only the password email sends to the user... It was working but then suddenly stopped working.. I don't understand why...
I have checked the smtp settings in iis and all is fine.. I just don't understand how it can send both email locally, but only one of the emails on the server? anybody have any incline of the issue.. ? here is my code...
private void SendActivationEmail(string password, DataTable td)

Having an issue sending an image via email as an embedded image in the body.
The image file shows as an attachment which is ok but the inline image portion just shows as a red x.
Here is what I have so far
LinkedResource inline = new LinkedResource(filePath);
inline.ContentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
Attachment att = new Attachment(filePath);
att.ContentDisposition.Inline = true;
mail.From = from_email;
mail.To.Add(data.email);
mail.Subject = "Client: " + data.client_id + " Has Sent You A Screenshot";
mail.Body = String.Format(
"<h3>Client: " + data.client_id + " Has Sent You A Screenshot</h3>" +
#"<img src=""cid:{0}"" />", inline.ContentId);
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.Attachments.Add(att);
Some minimal c# code to embed an image, can be:
MailMessage mailWithImg = GetMailWithImg();
MySMTPClient.Send(mailWithImg); //* Set up your SMTPClient before!
private MailMessage GetMailWithImg() {
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.AlternateViews.Add(GetEmbeddedImage("c:/image.png"));
mail.From = new MailAddress("yourAddress#yourDomain");
mail.To.Add("recipient#hisDomain");
mail.Subject = "yourSubject";
return mail;
}
private AlternateView GetEmbeddedImage(String filePath) {
LinkedResource res = new LinkedResource(filePath);
res.ContentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
string htmlBody = #"<img src='cid:" + res.ContentId + #"'/>";
AlternateView alternateView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(htmlBody, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
alternateView.LinkedResources.Add(res);
return alternateView;
}
Try this
string htmlBody = "<html><body><h1>Picture</h1><br><img src=\"cid:filename\"></body></html>";
AlternateView avHtml = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString
(htmlBody, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
LinkedResource inline = new LinkedResource("filename.jpg", MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg);
inline.ContentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
avHtml.LinkedResources.Add(inline);
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.AlternateViews.Add(avHtml);
Attachment att = new Attachment(filePath);
att.ContentDisposition.Inline = true;
mail.From = from_email;
mail.To.Add(data.email);
mail.Subject = "Client: " + data.client_id + " Has Sent You A Screenshot";
mail.Body = String.Format(
"<h3>Client: " + data.client_id + " Has Sent You A Screenshot</h3>" +
#"<img src=""cid:{0}"" />", att.ContentId);
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
mail.Attachments.Add(att);
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string Themessage = #"<html>
<body>
<table width=""100%"">
<tr>
<td style=""font-style:arial; color:maroon; font-weight:bold"">

<img src=cid:myImageID>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>";
sendHtmlEmail("from#gmail.com", "tomailaccount", Themessage, "Scoutfoto", "Test HTML Email", "smtp.gmail.com", 25);
}
protected void sendHtmlEmail(string from_Email, string to_Email, string body, string from_Name, string Subject, string SMTP_IP, Int32 SMTP_Server_Port)
{
//create an instance of new mail message
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
//set the HTML format to true
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
//create Alrternative HTML view
AlternateView htmlView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(body, null, "text/html");
//Add Image
LinkedResource theEmailImage = new LinkedResource("E:\\IMG_3332.jpg");
theEmailImage.ContentId = "myImageID";
//Add the Image to the Alternate view
htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(theEmailImage);
//Add view to the Email Message
mail.AlternateViews.Add(htmlView);
//set the "from email" address and specify a friendly 'from' name
mail.From = new MailAddress(from_Email, from_Name);
//set the "to" email address
mail.To.Add(to_Email);
//set the Email subject
mail.Subject = Subject;
//set the SMTP info
System.Net.NetworkCredential cred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("fromEmail#gmail.com", "fromEmail password");
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = cred;
//send the email
smtp.Send(mail);
}
In addition to the comments above, I have the following additional comments:
Do not mix Attachments and AlternativeView, use one or the other. If you mix them, the inline attachments will be rendered as unknown downloads.
While Outlook and Google allow standard HTML-style "cid:att-001" this does NOT work on iPhone (late 2016 patch level), rather use pure alpha numeric "cid:att-001" -> "cid:att001"
As an aside: Outlook (even Office 2015) rendering (still the clear majority for business users) requires the use of TABLE TR TD style HTML, as it does not fully support the HTML box model.
An even more minimalistic example:
var linkedResource = new LinkedResource(#"C:\Image.jpg", MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg);
// My mail provider would not accept an email with only an image, adding hello so that the content looks less suspicious.
var htmlBody = $"hello<img src=\"cid:{linkedResource.ContentId}\"/>";
var alternateView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(htmlBody, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
alternateView.LinkedResources.Add(linkedResource);
var mailMessage = new MailMessage
{
From = new MailAddress("youremail#host.com"),
To = { "recipient#host.com" },
Subject = "yourSubject",
AlternateViews = { alternateView }
};
var smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
Try This.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string Themessage = #"<html>
<body>
<table width=""100%"">
<tr>
<td style=""font-style:arial; color:maroon; font-weight:bold"">
Hi! <br>
<img src=cid:myImageID>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>";
sendHtmlEmail("from#gmail.com", "tomailaccount", Themessage, "Scoutfoto", "Test HTML Email", "smtp.gmail.com", 25);
}
protected void sendHtmlEmail(string from_Email, string to_Email, string body, string from_Name, string Subject, string SMTP_IP, Int32 SMTP_Server_Port)
{
//create an instance of new mail message
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
//set the HTML format to true
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
//create Alrternative HTML view
AlternateView htmlView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(body, null, "text/html");
//Add Image
LinkedResource theEmailImage = new LinkedResource("E:\\IMG_3332.jpg");
theEmailImage.ContentId = "myImageID";
//Add the Image to the Alternate view
htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(theEmailImage);
//Add view to the Email Message
mail.AlternateViews.Add(htmlView);
//set the "from email" address and specify a friendly 'from' name
mail.From = new MailAddress(from_Email, from_Name);
//set the "to" email address
mail.To.Add(to_Email);
//set the Email subject
mail.Subject = Subject;
//set the SMTP info
System.Net.NetworkCredential cred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("fromEmail#gmail.com", "fromEmail password");
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
smtp.EnableSsl = true;
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.Credentials = cred;
//send the email
smtp.Send(mail);
}
The other solution is attaching the image as attachment and then referencing it html code using cid.
HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<img width=100 height=100 id=""1"" src=""cid:Logo.jpg"">
</body>
</html>
C# Code:
EmailMessage email = new EmailMessage(service);
email.Subject = "Email with Image";
email.Body = new MessageBody(BodyType.HTML, html);
email.ToRecipients.Add("abc#xyz.com");
string file = #"C:\Users\acv\Pictures\Logo.jpg";
email.Attachments.AddFileAttachment("Logo.jpg", file);
email.Attachments[0].IsInline = true;
email.Attachments[0].ContentId = "Logo.jpg";
email.SendAndSaveCopy();
Example on how to embed multiple images into an HTML email. Note, if you try to use newer HTML elements such as flexbox you will have trouble. If you use a simple table it will work. When I tried with flexbox the styling wasn't recognized.
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var html = File.ReadAllText("c:\test.html");
var altView = GetAlternateView(html);
SendEmail(new List<MailRecipients> {new MailAddress(someone#email.com)}, "Hello!", "Images in Email Test!", true, altView);
}
public static bool SendEmail(List<MailAddress> recipients, string body, string subject, bool html, AlternateView view, MailPriority priority = MailPriority.Normal)
{
try
{
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
message.From = new MailAddress(ConfigLookup.GetStringValue(ConfigNames.EmailFrom));
recipients.ForEach(r => message.To.Add(new MailAddress(r.Address)));
message.Subject = subject;
message.IsBodyHtml = html;
message.AlternateViews.Add(view);
message.Priority = priority;
smtp.Port = 25;
smtp.Host = youremailhost;
smtp.EnableSsl = yes;
smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.Send(message);
return true;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return false;
}
}
private AlternateView GetAlternateView(string html)
{
var logoPath = ConfigLookup.GetStringValue(ConfigNames.LogoPath);
LinkedResource logoResource = new LinkedResource(logoPath);
// ContentID must match the 'cid:contentId' in the html
logoResource.ContentId = "logo";
// Without a Mime type the images will show up as attached .bin files
logoResource.ContentType = new ContentType("image/png");
logoResource.TransferEncoding = TransferEncoding.Base64;
var heroPath = ConfigLookup.GetStringValue(ConfigNames.HeroPath);
LinkedResource heroResource = new LinkedResource(heroPath);
// ContentID must match the 'cid:contentId' in the html
heroResource.ContentId = "hero";
// Without a Mime type the images will show up as attached .bin files
heroResource.ContentType = new ContentType("image/png");
heroResource.TransferEncoding = TransferEncoding.Base64;
AlternateView alternateView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(html, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
alternateView.LinkedResources.Add(logoResource);
alternateView.LinkedResources.Add(heroResource);
return alternateView;
}
In your Html, the main thing that links up the images to the LinkedResource is the 'cid:contentId' must match:
<a href="https://somesite.com" target="_blank" style="color:#033254;">
<img src="cid:logo" width="218" alt="Company logo" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;" />
</a>
<a href="https://somesite.com" target="_blank" style="color:#033254;">
<img src="cid:hero" width="218" alt="Company hero" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;" />

new { id = Guid.NewGuid(), type = "image/jpeg", tag = "justme-bw", path = #"C:\Pictures\JustMe-BW.jpg" }
}.ToList();
var content = $#"
<style type=""text/css"">
body {{ font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; }}
</style>
<body>
<h4>{DateTime.Now:dddd, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss tt}</h4>
<p>Some pictures</p>
<div>
<p>Color Picture</p>
<img src=cid:{{justme}} />
</div>
<div>
<p>Black and White Picture</p>

</div>
<div>
<p>Color Picture repeated</p>
<img src=cid:{{justme}} />
</div>
</body>
";
// Update content with picture guid
pictures.ForEach(p => content = content.Replace($"{{{p.tag}}}", $"{p.id}"));
// Create Alternate View
var view = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(content, Encoding.UTF8, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
// Add the resources
pictures.ForEach(p => view.LinkedResources.Add(new LinkedResource(p.path, p.type) { ContentId = p.id.ToString() }));
using (var client = new SmtpClient()) // Set properties as needed or use config file
using (MailMessage message = new MailMessage()

})
{
message.AlternateViews.Add(view);

string finalHtml = "";
var i = -1;
while (reader.Read())
{
if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
{ // The node is an element.
if (reader.AttributeCount <= 1)
{
if (reader.Name == "img")
{
finalHtml += "<" + reader.Name;
while (reader.MoveToNextAttribute())
{
if (reader.Name == "src")

i++;
address[i] = reader.Value;
address[i] = address[i].Remove(0, 8);
finalHtml += " " + reader.Name + "=" + "cid:chartlogo" + i.ToString();
}
else
{
finalHtml += " " + reader.Name + "='" + reader.Value + "'";
}
}
finalHtml += ">";
}

I have written a code which sends mail to the admin for moderation whenever a user adds a content from front end.....the problem is sometimes the admin gets two mails of same content.
below is my code
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
string mailto = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["adminStoryEmail"].ToString();
mail.To.Add(mailto);
//mail.To.Add("vidyasagar.patil#viraltech.in");
mail.From = new MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["fromEmail"]);
mail.Subject = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["email_subject"];
if (uploadedpath != "")
{
mail.Body = "Email ID : " + txtEmail.Text + "<br /> Title : " + txtStoryTitle.Text + "<br />" + " Download : " + " http://www.achievewithdell.in/uploads/" + uploadedpath + "<br />";
if (story != "")
{
mail.Body += "New story has been added" + " http://www.achievewithdell.in/admin/ManageStory.aspx";
}
}
else
{
mail.Body = "Email ID : " + txtEmail.Text + "<br /> Title : " + txtStoryTitle.Text + " <br />";
if (story != "")
{
mail.Body += "New story has been added" + " http://www.achievewithdell.in/admin/ManageStory.aspx";
}
}
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Host = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["smtp_host"]; //Or Your SMTP Server Address
smtp.Port = 25;
smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["smtp_userid"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["smtp_password"]); //Or your Smtp Email ID and Password
smtp.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
smtp.Send(mail);
You say sometimes the email gets sent twice. This would suggest the code you've given us is fine, the problem probably lies with what calls that code.
One way you could eliminate duplicates is to queue up your mails to be sent, perhaps in a database (storing: to, from, subject, body etc). Then periodically, iterate through mails to be sent, ignoring duplicates and marking sent mails so they don't get sent again.
Failing a refactor to your application like that, as the other poster suggested, get out your debugger and set a breakpoint. Depending on your version of Visual Studio, you could use the Breakpoint Hit Count so you only land at the breakpoint on the 2nd time.
Debug and make sure smtp Send() method is not called twice, put a break point on that line.
i had a problem in format in email. I want to have a new line..
here's the format in email..
Name: sdds Phone: 343434 Fax: 3434 Email: valencia_arman#yahoo.com Address: dsds Remarks: dsds Giftwrap: Yes Giftwrap Instructions: sdds Details: PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE(SCPOTB-8101-05) 1 x Php 275.00 = Php 275.00 Total: Php275.00
here's my C# code..
mail.Body = "Name: " + newInfo.ContactPerson + Environment.NewLine
+ "Phone: " + newInfo.Phone + Environment.NewLine
+ "Fax: " + newInfo.Fax + Environment.NewLine
+ "Email: " + newInfo.Email + Environment.NewLine
+ "Address: " + newInfo.Address + Environment.NewLine
+ "Remarks: " + newInfo.Notes + Environment.NewLine
+ "Giftwrap: " + rbGiftWrap.SelectedValue + Environment.NewLine
+ "Giftwrap Instructions: " + newInfo.Instructions + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine
+ "Details: " + Environment.NewLine
+ mailDetails;
If you're sending it in HTML, make sure you set the format.
mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
And then you can use <br/> should you want to.
UPDATE:
Try this as an alternative:
using System.Net.Mail;
...
MailMessage myMail;
myMail = new MailMessage();
myMail.IsBodyHtml = true;
maybe you can try this...
We create seperate email templates (e.g. EmailTemplate.htm), it includes the message to be sent. You will have no problems for new line in message.
Then this is our Code behind:
private void SendEmail()
{
string emailPath = "../EmailTemplate.htm"; //Define your template path here
string emailBody = string.Empty;
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(emailPath);
emailBody = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
sr.Dispose();
//Send Email; you can refactor this out
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
MailAddress address = new MailAddress("sender#domain.com", "display name");
message.From = address;
message.To.Add("to#domain.com");
message.Subject = "Your Subject";
message.IsBodyHtml = true; //defines that your email is in Html form
message.Body = emailBody;
//smtp is defined in web.config
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
try
{
smtp.Send(message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//catch errors here...
}
}
Did you try "+\n" instead of Environment.NewLine?
