The HtmlEmailMessage class allows you to embed inline images into your HTML content. An inline image is different than a normal image in that an inline image is included as part of the email message itself rather than issuing a separate HTTP request to the server to obtain the image file. The result is that there will not be a delay in rendering when loading the HTML message part. To embed an image in an HTML part you can use the Embed method. Images may be embedded using either a URL or from a local file.
Example
This example demonstrates adding an image using a URL reference. The ID used for the inline image must match the ID used in the HTML code.
[C#]
message.SetHtmlBody("<html><body><img src=\"cid:12345\"><br>this is the html body</body></html>"); message.Embed("http://www.domain.com/image.gif","12345");
[Visual Basic]
message.SetHtmlBody("<html><body><img src=\"cid:12345\"><br>this is the html body</body></html>") message.Embed("http://www.domain.com/image.gif","12345")
Example
This example demonstrates adding an image using a local file reference. The ID used for the inline image must match the ID used in the HTML code.
[C#]
message.SetHtmlBody("<html><body><img src=\"cid:12345\"><br>this is the html body</body></html>"); message.Embed(new FileInfo("image.gif"),"12345");
[Visual Basic]
message.SetHtmlBody("<html><body><img src=\"cid:12345\"><br>this is the html body</body></html>") message.Embed(New FileInfo("image.gif"),"12345")
