hi,

I am sending html email it's working but only download options is display how to view my email template in asp.net:

C#

string strMailContent = "Welcome new user";
       
        string cid = "banner.jpg";
        string path = Server.MapPath(@"images/banner.jpg"); // my logo is placed in images folder
        MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();
        MailAddressCollection addcoll = new MailAddressCollection();
        addcoll.Add("kollihari1209@gmail.com");
        addcoll.Add("kollihari1209@gmail.com");
        mailMessage.From = addcoll[0];
        mailMessage.To.Add(addcoll[1]);
        mailMessage.Subject = "Welcome new User";
        LinkedResource logo = new LinkedResource(path);
        logo.ContentId = "banner";
       
        AlternateView av1 = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString("<html><body><img src=cid:companylogo/>     <br></body></html>" + strMailContent, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
        av1.LinkedResources.Add(logo);

Reason for my vote of 1:

Not clear at all. And not a question.

If you don't care about comprehensive issue report and explanation of your goal and failures, who would care to answer?

MailMessage Class is now obsolete. Microsoft's recommended alternative: System.Net.Mail[^].

Moving ahead, see this thread discussion: Can I set up HTML/Email Templates with ASP.NET?[^] - it has various good ways discussed on how to make a template and use it. Check out, if they help.

Few others based on MailMessage class to go through if they help:
Email Templates[^]
Sending Email using Templates Asp.net [^]
