Send Hyperlink in Email 1

[nicks60610]

I am trying to send a hyperlink in an email generated by ASP.NET code, but it does not make the link active once it arrives in Email (Outlook 2003).

Here's the code:

Dim dt As DataTable
Dim da As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
dt = New DataTable("Supervisor")

cmdSelect.Connection = objConn
da = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(cmdSelect)
da.Fill(dt)

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "SMTPExchGW..."

Dim objMail As New MailMessage()


objMail.From = "user@somewhere.com"


objMail.To = CStr(DataBinder.Eval(dt, "defaultview.[0].Username"))


objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html

objMail.Subject = "Kaizen Submission"

objMail.Body = "A Kaizen form has been submitted for your review, look for: Title: " & Title & " , User Name: " & LastName & " , Date Submitted: " & Dte & "." + " please go to

http://url/suburl.aspx"

SmtpMail.Send(objMail)

objConn.Close()


End Sub


This is what I get:

A Kaizen form has been submitted for your review, look for: Title: test , User Name: Sandberg, Nicklas , Date Submitted: 10/23/2006. please go to

http://kennebunk/Kaizen/Report-Selection.aspx

- But the hyperlink is not active....any ideas??

Thanks,

Since you use HTML format in your email, why not:

Please go to <a href='[URL unfurl="true"]http://kannebunk/Kaizen/Report-Selection.aspx'>Report[/URL] Selection</a>
