MailMessage.LoadBodyText Method (String, MessageBodyType)

Loads the contents of the specified file into HTML or plain-text body of the message.

public bool LoadBodyText(
string filename,
MessageBodyType bodyType
);

Parameters

filename: The absolute or relative path to the file containing the text to be imported.
bodyType: Denotes whether to load the data into HTML body or into plain-text body.

Return Value

true if the text was successfully imported; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This method does not automatically attach pictures and other files referenced in the HTML content being imported. Use ImportRelatedFiles method or LoadBodyText for this. The latter can also be used to load HTML body from a web location rather than from local filesystem.

MailBeeInvalidArgumentException	filename is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string.
MailBeeIOException	An I/O error occurred and ThrowExceptions is true.
