email calendar with image

[unknownmaster]

Hi,
I am trying to send a calendar with image showing in the message body. When I tried to send one, it shows the message in text only. All the images and html are not displayed in the message body..Can anyone help me on this? Thanks! Note the msg.body contains html and images.

string startTime1 = Convert.ToDateTime(startTime).ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ");
string endTime1 = Convert.ToDateTime(endTime).ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ");
SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient("");

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

msg.From = new MailAddress("", "HR Self Service");
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(emailto));
msg.Subject = "Holiday Approval";
msg.Body = emailbody;

StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder();
str.AppendLine("BEGIN:VCALENDAR");

//PRODID: identifier for the product that created the Calendar object
str.AppendLine("PRODID:-//ABC Company//Outlook MIMEDIR//EN");
str.AppendLine("VERSION:2.0");
str.AppendLine("METHOD:REQUEST");

str.AppendLine("BEGIN:VEVENT");

str.AppendLine(string.Format("DTSTART:{0:yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ}", startTime1));//TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc("BeginTime").ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ")));
str.AppendLine(string.Format("DTSTAMP:{0:yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ}", DateTime.UtcNow));
str.AppendLine(string.Format("DTEND:{0:yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ}", endTime1));//TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc("EndTime").ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ")));
str.AppendLine(string.Format("LOCATION: {0}", "Location"));
str.AppendLine(string.Format("UID:{0}", Guid.NewGuid()));
str.AppendLine(string.Format("DESCRIPTION:{0}", msg.Body));
str.AppendLine(string.Format("X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:{0}", msg.Body));
str.AppendLine(string.Format("SUMMARY:{0}", msg.Subject));
str.AppendLine("STATUS:CONFIRMED");
str.AppendLine("BEGIN:VALARM");
str.AppendLine("TRIGGER:-PT15M");
str.AppendLine("ACTION:Accept");
str.AppendLine("DESCRIPTION:Reminder");
str.AppendLine("X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:BUSY");
str.AppendLine("END:VALARM");
str.AppendLine("END:VEVENT");
str.AppendLine(string.Format("ORGANIZER:MAILTO:{0}", msg.From.Address));
str.AppendLine(string.Format("ATTENDEE;CN=\"{0}\";RSVP=TRUE:mailto:{1}", msg.To[0].DisplayName, msg.To[0].Address));
str.AppendLine("END:VCALENDAR");
System.Net.Mime.ContentType ct = new System.Net.Mime.ContentType("text/calendar");
ct.Parameters.Add("method", "REQUEST");
ct.Parameters.Add("name", "meeting.ics");
AlternateView aCal = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(str.ToString(), ct);
msg.AlternateViews.Add(aCal);
sc.Send(msg);

You have to set IsBodyHtml property to true in order for the body to be displayed as HTML. This is a perfect example of why you should be reading the documentation first. If you'd read the documentation for the MailMessage class then you'd have seen that for yourself. VS has a Help menu for a reason. You should make use of it. You will be the one to benefit if you do.
