Well you didn't format your code so that it's readable.
If you had formmatted your code so that it would be readable, you did not ask a question or describe a problem with your code.

In email, you can simply embed an image element which would hold the image. Just make sure that the link you pass is correct. Mostly, HTTP or HTTPS protocol would also be required, because the image file exists on your server not theirs. Like this,

XML

"<html>
  <body>
    <img src="http://www.example.com/images/file.png" alt="image-name" />
  </body>
</html>"

A few helpful posts for generating HTML emails include:

Simple HTML document is sent as the email body, and email client would render that on screen.

'the current folder of the compiled file has a image named 1.jpg

Hi just now i try ur code,i am passing image path like this
Dim path As String = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\LoadMore\image\1340094141_Program-Group.png"
And when i receive mail ,i can see image as attachment with no extension and download image,so when i open with windows photo viewer i can view.

Dim path As String=System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "/1.jpg"
