Hi,
We need to send the email from our asp.net web application,we had defined the e-mail template
with static and dynamic data and able to populate dynamic data but how to have images in the templates so that the user after opening his e-mail need to see/view the images in the email?
Please help me out in this scenario
Thanks,
Hi,
Thanks for considering Aspose.
For sending template based emails please refer to the article at http://www.aspose.com/documentation/file-format-components/aspose.network-for-.net/performing-mail-merge.html. Since, you already implemented mail merge (creating template and filling email fields dynamically), please refer to http://www.aspose.com/documentation/file-format-components/aspose.network-for-.net/working-with-embedded-objects.html for inserting images as embedded objects in email body.
Below is the sample code to send emails with embedded image using mail merge:
//template routine to provide signature
static object GetSignature(object[] args)
{
return "Aspose.Network
Aspose Ltd.
" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
}
--------------------------------------------------
Write the following code in some even handler e.g. method invoked on button click :
//Create a new MailMessage instance
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
//Add subject and from address
msg.Subject = "Hello, #FirstName#";
msg.From = "sender@domain.com";
//Add email address to send email
msg.To.Add("sender@domain.com");
//Add mesage field to html body
msg.HtmlBody = "Your message here";
msg.HtmlBody += "Thank you for your interest in Aspose.Network.
Here is an embedded image.";
//Use GetSignment as the template routine, which will provide the same signature
msg.HtmlBody += "
HTML tags can be added here.
#GetSignature()#";
//Create a new TemplateEngine with the msg message.
TemplateEngine engine = new TemplateEngine(msg);
// Register GetSignature routine. It will be used in msg.
engine.RegisterRoutine("GetSignature", new TemplateRoutine(GetSignature));
//Create an instance of DataTable
//Fill a DataTable as data source
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Receipt", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("FirstName", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("LastName", typeof(string));
//Create an instance of DataRow
DataRow dr;
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["Receipt"] = "Name";
dr["FirstName"] = "First";
dr["LastName"] = "Last";
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
MailMessageCollection messages;
try
{
//Create messages from the message and datasource.
messages = engine.Instantiate(dt);
LinkedResource logo = new LinkedResource("c:\\test.bmp", MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg);
logo.ContentId = "companylogo";
foreach (MailMessage msg1 in messages)
{
msg1.LinkedResources.Add(logo);
// msg1.Save("C:\\test.eml");
}
//Create an instance of SmtpClient and specify server, port, username and password
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("mail.domain.com", 25, "username", "password");
//Send messages in bulk
client.BulkSend(messages);
MessageBox.Show("Messagen sent");
}
catch (MailException ex)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
catch (SmtpException ex)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
