I have some images stored in the Resources.resx file in my solution. I would like to use these images in my email. I have loaded the image into a variable:
Bitmap myImage = new Bitmap(Resources.Image);
and now I want to put it in the HTML in the AlternateView string I am using to create the HTML email. Just need some help.
Here is the HTML string(partial):
body += "</HEAD><BODY><DIV style='height:100%; width:700px;'><div style='height:70px; width:700px; background-color:red;'><img src='" + myImage + "' width='104' height='27' alt='img' style='margin: 20px 0px 0px 20px;'/></div>
Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks!
EDIT: Here is the entire Code block. I think I am close to getting it, just inexperience getting in the way here :) I tried converting it into a Byte like suggested which got me farther. Still not rendering the image. There is something here I am not doing right. Thank you so much for all of you help everyone! Here is the code (the HTML I need for the image is in the 3 line of the string body = code):
if (emailTo != null)
{
Bitmap myImage = new Bitmap(Resources.comcastHeader);
ImageConverter ic = new ImageConverter();
Byte[] ba = (Byte[])ic.ConvertTo(myImage, typeof(Byte[]));
MemoryStream image1 = new MemoryStream(ba);
LinkedResource headerImage = new LinkedResource(image1, "image/jpeg");
headerImage.ContentId = "companyLogo";
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage message = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
message.To.Add("" + emailTo + "");
message.Subject = "" + customer + " Your order is being processed...";
message.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("noreply@stormcopper.com");
