Embed programatically created jpeg into HTML email?

M

Mark123

I have two pieces of VB.NET code below:

a) Sends an email
b) Returns a programmatically created jpeg image to a webpage.

How can I embed the programmatically created jpeg into an HTML formatted
email (without saving the jpeg to disk)?

Code a)
======

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Net.Mail
Imports System.Net

Public Class sfSendMail

Shared Function fSendMail( _
ByVal strTo As String, _
ByVal strFrom As String, _
ByVal strSubject As String, _
ByVal strBody As String, _
Optional ByVal strCC As String = "", _
Optional ByVal strBCC As String = "", _
Optional ByVal strBodyHTML As String = "") As String

fSendMail = ""

'Send mail
Dim mMailMessage As New MailMessage()
Dim strMediaType As String
Dim avPlainText As AlternateView
Dim avHTMLContent As AlternateView

mMailMessage.From = New MailAddress(strFrom)
mMailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(strTo))

If strBCC <> "" Then
mMailMessage.Bcc.Add(New MailAddress(strBCC))
End If

If strCC <> "" Then
mMailMessage.CC.Add(New MailAddress(strCC))
End If

mMailMessage.Subject = strSubject

strMediaType = "text/plain"
avPlainText = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(strBody,
Nothing, strMediaType)

strMediaType = "text/html"
avHTMLContent =
AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(strBodyHTML, Nothing,
strMediaType)

mMailMessage.AlternateViews.Add(avPlainText)
mMailMessage.AlternateViews.Add(avHTMLContent)


Try
Dim mSmtpClient As New SmtpClient()
If Left(SharedFunctions.fGetConnectionString, Len("Data
Source=MyConnection")) = "Data Source=MyConnection" Then
mSmtpClient.Host = "smtp.site1.com"
Dim SMTPUserInfo As New NetworkCredential("me",
"mypassword")
mSmtpClient.Credentials = SMTPUserInfo
mSmtpClient.Port = 587
Else
mSmtpClient.Host = "site2.com"
End If
mSmtpClient.Send(mMailMessage)
fSendMail = "True"
Catch exc As Exception
fSendMail = "Email send failure: " + exc.ToString()
End Try

End Function


End Class
