I am using the sendgrid SMTP API https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-csharp to send emails but I cannot figure out how to embed an image. I can do it using .Net native mail api without issues. I am simply getting a Bad Request. Here is my code that is throwing
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
try {
//// Create the email object first, then add the properties.
var myMessage = new SendGridMessage();
contact_list = new List<MailAddress>();
contact_list.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
myMessage.To = contact_list.ToArray();
myMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
myMessage.Subject = "Subject";
string html = "<div><img src=cid:Logo /></div>";
myMessage.Html = html;
myMessage.EmbedImage(@"C:\logo.png", "Logo");
SendMessage(myMessage);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}
private static void SendMessage(SendGridMessage message)
{
// Create credentials, specifying your user name and password.
var credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "pwdpwdpwd");
// Create a Web transport for sending email.
var transportWeb = new Web(credentials);
// Send the email.
try
{
transportWeb.Deliver(message);
Console.WriteLine("Sent!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
I figured out how to get this working. Here is the code used:
var myMessage = new SendGridMessage();
contact_list = new List<MailAddress>();
contact_list.Add(new MailAddress("my email address"));
myMessage.To = contact_list.ToArray();
myMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "STP Client Service");
myMessage.Subject = "STP Report Package: " + package_report_name;
string img = @"C:\\logo.png";
ContentType ctype = new ContentType("image/png");
var attachment = new Attachment(img, ctype);
var linkedResource = new LinkedResource(img, ctype);
myMessage.AddAttachment(attachment.ContentStream, attachment.Name);
myMessage.EmbedImage(attachment.Name, linkedResource.ContentId);
string html = "<img src=cid:"+linkedResource.ContentId+" />";
myMessage.Html = html;
