Specified value is not supported for the urlOfFile parameter

This error is misleading, actually we should not use SPFolder.Files collection to retrieve SPFile object the correct way is to use SPWeb.GetFile method.

Email with Embedded (Inline) image in sharepoint

In asp.net we can send an email with inline image as explained in this post
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18358534/send-inline-image-in-email

But in sharepoint the procedure is slightly different. I have used below post to do the stuff

http://sharepoint-tamizha.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/send-email-with-embedded-images-in-c.html

And the final code looks like

byte[] imgByte = null;

SPFile file = SPContext.Current.Web.GetFile(ImageUrl);

imgByte = file.OpenBinary();

// Creating Unique ID for adding image referrence

string GUId1 = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

// frame the HTML with the img tag and above unique id

string htmlBody = "<html><body><div><img src=\"cid:" + GUId1 + "\"></div></body></html>";

// Create alternateview object with Mime type HTML

AlternateView avHtml = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString

(htmlBody, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);

//Create object for Linked Resource with the Image physical path or Image Stream

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(imgByte);

LinkedResource pic1 = new LinkedResource(stream, "image/png");

// Provide the previously created Unique ID to associate the Image with the respective img src.

pic1.ContentId = GUId1;

//Add the Linked Resource to the AlternateView

avHtml.LinkedResources.Add(pic1);

string from = SPContext.Current.Web.Site.WebApplication.OutboundMailSenderAddress;

string smtpAddress =SPContext.Current.Web.Site.WebApplication.OutboundMailServiceInstance.Server.Address;

// Assign SMTP address

SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient();

smtpClient.Host = smtpAddress;

MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage(from, toRecipients);

mailMessage.Subject = subject;

// Add the Alternate view with the Mail message

mailMessage.AlternateViews.Add(avHtml);

mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;

smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
