[c#] How to send HTML-formatted email?

I could be able to let the web application sends automatic emails using Windows Task Scheduler. Now I want to send HTML-Formatted email using the following method that I wrote for sending emails.

My code-behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient("mail address");
        MailMessage msg = null;

        try
        {
            msg = new MailMessage("[email protected]",
                "[email protected]", "Message from PSSP System",
                "This email sent by the PSSP system");

             sc.Send(msg);
        }

        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw ex;
        }

        finally
        {
            if (msg != null)
            {
                msg.Dispose();
            }
        }
    }

How to do that? I just want to put some bold text with one link and maybe one image in the email.

This question is related to c# asp.net

The answer is


Best way to send html formatted Email

This code will be in "Customer.htm"

    <table>
    <tr>
        <td>
            Dealer's Company Name
        </td>
        <td>
            :
        </td>
        <td>
            #DealerCompanyName#
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Read HTML file Using System.IO.File.ReadAllText. get all HTML code in string variable.

string Body = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("EmailTemplates/Customer.htm"));

Replace Particular string to your custom value.

Body = Body.Replace("#DealerCompanyName#", _lstGetDealerRoleAndContactInfoByCompanyIDResult[0].CompanyName);

call SendEmail(string Body) Function and do procedure to send email.

 public static void SendEmail(string Body)
        {
            MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
            message.From = new MailAddress(Session["Email"].Tostring());
            message.To.Add(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["RequesEmail"].ToString());
            message.Subject = "Request from " + SessionFactory.CurrentCompany.CompanyName + " to add a new supplier";
            message.IsBodyHtml = true;
            message.Body = Body;

            SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();
            smtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

            smtpClient.Host = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["SMTP"].ToString();
            smtpClient.Port = Convert.ToInt32(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["PORT"].ToString());
            smtpClient.EnableSsl = true;
            smtpClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["USERNAME"].ToString(), ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["PASSWORD"].ToString());
            smtpClient.Send(message);
        }

This works for me

msg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;

and then you can use html in your body

msg.Body = "<em>It's great to use HTML in mail!!</em>"
