Examples

The following code example displays the values in the dictionary returned by this property.

static void CreateMessageWithMultipleViews( String^ server, String^ recipients )

   // Create a message and set up the recipients.
   MailMessage^ message = gcnew MailMessage( L"jane@contoso.com",recipients,L"This email message has multiple views.",L"This is some plain text." );
   
   // Construct the alternate body as HTML.

   body = String::Concat( body, L"<HTML><HEAD><META http-equiv=Content-Type content=\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\">" );

   body = String::Concat( body, L"</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>" );
   
   // Add the alternate body to the message.
   AlternateView^ alternate = AlternateView::CreateAlternateViewFromString(body);

Remarks

You can set the parameters by specifying the entire Content-Header value when constructing a ContentType object or you can add parameters to the StringDictionary returned by the Parameters property.

When adding a parameter entry to the dictionary, the name of the parameter is the entry's key and the value of the parameter is the entry's value.

A grammar that details the syntax of the Content-Type header is described in RFC 2045 Section 5.1. RFC 2046 provides detailed information on MIME media types and their associated parameters. These RFCs are available at https://www.ietf.org.
