Image embedded mail by G-mail on C#.net

I have seen a posting on "indika-kumara.blogspot.com" how to send e-mails by using G-mail credentials on C#.net.Thank you Indika.
Here I am going to tell you how to send e-mails on C#.net as well with embedded images.I have tried several ways on this and this is the way I found.If you know some easy way than this please tell me.
First of all we have to write the code which simply send the e-mails.Here is the code which sends an simple mail.
public static void sendEmail()
{
 System.Net.Mail.MailMessage MyMailMessage = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(
        "from@gmail.com",//your gmail address
        "to@yahoo.com",// receiver
        "subject goes here",
        "content goes here");   

 MyMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;//enables HTML 

 System.Net.NetworkCredential mailAuthentication = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(
        "from@gmail.com",//your gmail address
        "myPassword");//your gmail password
 System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient mailClient = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com",587);
 mailClient.EnableSsl = true;
 mailClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
 mailClient.Credentials = mailAuthentication;
 mailClient.Send(MyMailMessage);
}
Then we have to find a way to embed an image to the mail content.Actually we have to find a place to upload our image first.I have used flickr.com but picasa on Google is also good.
On flickr you can just sign-in by using your yahoo mail address because it is one of yahoo service.
After uploading the image you have to get the URL of that image.
e.g. -
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1389/737548198_f1acba1224_o.jpg
Then you have to edit some HTML to make our content on the mail.Here is a simple HTML with a single image.
e.g. -
But if you give simply this on C#.net as the content of the e-mail it will pop an error.So you have to put (\) escape characters for quotations (").
e.g. -
Yes simply you can put several images with some text also. I have edited some content for you.Please replace the content with the following string and send the mail.

Intel's Core 2 Quadro Kentsfield

I thought of inserting a large image of the processor. And to see more clear image with the text which describes all the parts on it please click on the image. Intel came up with an Core 2 Quadro with the code name \"Kentsfield\" which has 4 cores on it.





You can write any HTML and put them as the content.If you have come up with some issues or need clarifications please put them as comments.

Google API v3 with PHP using Blogger service

It was really hard for me to understand how the Google APIs are working at the first point and took few days for me to figure out. But after a successful working prototype it seems very easy. And also when I am searching for a simple example I was unable to find a good one that I can understand. So let me list down step by step what I have done with URLs and as simple as I can. Create a Google app location -  https://code.google.com/apis/console Switch on the "Blogger API v3" Get the latest APIs client library for PHP location -  https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/downloads/list Upload the files to your host location on on localhost Extract the files to folder  named "GoogleClientApi" Create your php file outside of the folder  Copy paste following code into the file and do the changes as needed  By changing the scope and the service object you can access all the services that is given by Google APIs through the PHP API library se

My two cents on new year resolution

What is the plan for the new year ? - need to think on what are we trying achieve during next year 2018 - basically the life goals - may be personal or professional - and also it should be realistic (not something like going to Mars ;)) Why we need a plan for the new year ? - basically a goal without a plan is a DREAM - And also should be able to measure (what you cannot measure, you cannot manage) How to prepare a new Year resolution/plan ? - Leave some buffer time - Make changes during the year (life is changing/evolving) - Plan is only for you (do not share it) - When a milestone is achieved, celebrate - Try to stick to the plan - otherwise no point of planing

Assets and Liabilities as Rich Dad, Poor Dad explains

I was reading "The rich dad poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki" here is a one point that he mentions on that. Basically Asset as he says is little bit different than on books. If something puts money in your pocket it is a asset. And Liabilities are the ones that takes money out of your pocket. OK for example a house or a car may seems like an Asset but it takes money out of you pocket to maintain them. But if you rent them or make them to make money at the end of the day you can convert it to a asset. Basically that what rich people do. They buy assets. Middle class buy liabilities (thinking those are assets) and stuff (a lot of them that not used or that not needed). Lower class buy to consume (basic needs like foods).
