Re: Send email with html body using System.net.mail
sloan
Etiquette is to CrossPost to one (or a few) germane newsgroups (The total #
of newsgroups should be a frugal number)
......
Now your issue.
You can try getting the source code here:
http://sholliday.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!A68482B9628A842A!138.entry
Download the example. I am able to send html email through that code.
You should encapsulate your method better.
You have Session data being pulled from within your method. 8<
Go get the source code from my blog, and you will have an encapsulated
method.
Then use a different function to create the html you want to send.
Then call the method.
private string CreateHtml ( string absoluteLink , string msgBody )
{
return "<html><body>"+"<h3>Hi :"+msgBody+"</h3>"+"<br/>You
visited:"+absoluteLink +"</body></html>";
}
private void CollectInfoAndSendEmail()
{
string html = CreateHtml( " http: // www . yahoo .com " , "Billy" );
SendEmailFramework_1_1( GetSettings() , "me@ toyou.com" , "Message From
the System", html);
}
private EmailSmtpSettings GetSettings()
{
EmailSmtpSettings settings =
((EmailSmtpSettings)System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig(CONFIG_SECTION_NAME));
return settings;
}
//Change my methods signature:
SendEmailFramework_1_1( SmtpServerSettings serv , string toAddress , string
subjectLine , string htmlBody )
Encapsulate, and less-spaghetti'fy your code.
Note: SmtpServerSettings is my custom object available in the downloadable
sourcecode.

PS
Utils.SendMailMessage(mail);
That code isn't available, so we have no idea what is happening in its
contents.
