I have a couple of images stored in visual studio project Resources folder, and I have to load them and display on the outlook mail body. Here it is the code:
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(Properties.Resources.MyImage);
ImageConverter ic = new ImageConverter();
Byte[] ba = (Byte[])ic.ConvertTo(b, typeof(Byte[]));
MemoryStream logo = new MemoryStream(ba);
LinkedResource companyImage = new LinkedResource(logo);
companyImage.ContentId = "companyLogo";
mailitem.HTMLBody += "<img src=\"cid:companyLogo\">";
However, it cannot display on the mail body but a ‘empty box with red x’. Can you give me some ideas?
Maybe you can try this.
You can refer to this link too
Create an attachment and set the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID property (DASL name "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F") using Attachment.PropertyAccessor.
Your HTML body (MailItem.HTMLBody property) would then need to reference that image attachment through the cid:
img src="cid:xyz"
where xyz is the value of the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID property.
Look at an existing message with OutlookSpy (click IMessage button).
