I'm building a string that will be sent over email. In the string I'd like to include a link, like so:
String mailstring = "Blah blah blah blah. Click here for more information."
and I'd like the "here" to be a link in the email, such as putting it http://madeuplink.com. I know I can put the address instead of the 'here' but I'd like to have the link be the word.
You can add HTML markup. Assuming the client has HTML emails enabled, it should become a link. If you're using MailDefinition to create the email, then ensure that the IsBodyHtml property is set to true.
String mailstring = "Blah blah blah blah. Click <a href=\"http://www.example.com\">here</a> for more information."
m_sMessage = "To learn more about FabPro1, Visit <a href=\"http://www.fabpro1.com\">our website</a>";
System.Web string input = String.Format("Blah blah blah blah. Click {0} for more information.",
"<a href=\"http://www.example.com\">here</a>");
OR
string input = "Blah blah blah blah. Click <a href=\"http://www.example.com\">here</a> for more information.",
Just one thing to add to @keyboardP's comment even though it is a bit out of context, if you are using MailMessage object to be sent as a message using SmtpClient, you need to set the MailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true.
public void SendEmail(string to, string subject, string body)
{
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage("[email protected]", to);
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = body;
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
...
}
The HTML markup will take the desired form in the email only when this property is set, otherwise it will show the markup as text and not a hyperlink.
