Hi Jithil,

Thanks for your reply. I just prepared my background with an html page and populated the variables from code page.

That was much simpler.

Sorry for the late update...

If the image is available some where in the web, you can create a message like this

string Body = " $\"\"$ ";
AlternateView htmlView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(Body, null, "text/html");
mail.AlternateViews.Add(htmlView);

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

mail.To.Add("");

mail.From = ""

mail.Subject = "";

string Body = " Welcome to Embed image!

Online resource for .net articles.
";

AlternateView htmlView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(Body, null, "text/html");

LinkedResource imagelink = new LinkedResource(Server.MapPath(".") + @"\images\sample.jpg", "image/jpg");

imagelink.ContentId = "imageId";

imagelink.TransferEncoding = System.Net.Mime.TransferEncoding.Base64;

htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(imagelink);

mail.AlternateViews.Add(htmlView);

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();

smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";

smtp.EnableSsl = true;

smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

smtp.Send(mail);

Just convert your image in to base 64.

eg:

<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADIA..." />
