Hi Guys and Gals ...

I have written an application to send an automated mail when there is a failure in a database.

Everything works well ... however , now I want the font of the body for a specific line to be "Red".

The line is below.

C#

mailResult.AppendLine("Previous Day Management Data Count: " + MgmtTotalDataCount);

Please help me with suggestions. Thanks a MIL

The HTML color code for red is #FF0000

So if you draw a red bar would it be a foobar?

Set your content to be HTML:

C#

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.Body = body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;

Then just specify the colour:

C#

mailResult.AppendLine("<font color=\"red\">Previous Day Management Data Count: " + MgmtTotalDataCount + "</font>");

The result is:
Previous Day Management Data Count: 666

Hi OriginalGriff , thanks for your reply .
I have tried this and cannot use it as the formatting of the mail body goes off.
I had to change it to "msgObj.BodyParts.Add(strResult, BodyPartFormat.Plain);" for the same reason and another service can only consume this mail when it is in plain text.

Is there any other way to change the format colour ?

hi , again ...

I have went with the html solution and just outputed another text file for the 3 service. Thanks for your help and input.
