Create MIME Containing HTML

See more MIME Examples

Calls SetBodyFromHtml to load HTML into the MIME body. Also sets the Content-Type header to "text/html", and the Content-Transfer-Encoding to an appropriate transfer encoding based on the characters found in the HTML.

//  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();

//  Add a few header fields:
success = mime.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test");
success = mime.AddHeaderField("MyId","123");

string htmlDoc = "<html><body>Test</body></html>";

//  Set the MIME body via SetBodyFromHtml.  This also
//  has the intended side-effect of adding the Content-Type
//  and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers.
success = mime.SetBodyFromHtml(htmlDoc);

Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());

//  The MIME should look like this:

//  Description: this is a test
//  MyId: 123
//  Content-Type: text/html; 
//  Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
//  
//  <html><body>Test</body></html>

//  Note: The Content-Transfer-Encoding may be changed.
//  For example, to use "base64", do this:
mime.Encoding = "base64";

//  Show the MIME again, this time using the base64 
//  transfer encoding:
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());

//  It should look like this:

//  Description: this is a test
//  MyId: 123
//  Content-Type: text/html; 
//  Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
//
