GOAL: send an html email using Sql Server Integration Service

PROBLEM: the Send Mail Task in SSIS allows only email in text format and not in html format.

SOLUTION: use a C# script instead the Send Mail Task to create and send the email.

Add a Script Task to the solution and choose C# as language
Open the task and click on Edit Script
Under the "region namespaces" part, add this namespace:

using System.Net.Mail;
After the "// TODO: Add your code here" add the following code (replace the highlighted part with your parameters):

   //Create email
   MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

   //From
   msg.From = new MailAddress("example@gmail.com");
   string user = "massimiliano.figini";
   string password = "***************";

   //To
   msg.To.Add("example@yahoo.com");

   //CC
   msg.To.Add("example2@yahoo.it");

   //Subject
   msg.Subject = "subject here";

   //Text in html
   msg.Body = "<html><body><h1>Test</h1><p>Test <b>test</b> message here.</p></body></html>";
   msg.IsBodyHtml = true;

   //Attachment
   msg.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("C:\\Test.txt"));

   //Send email
   SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
   smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
   smtp.Port = 587;
   smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
   smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(user, password);
   smtp.EnableSsl = true;
   smtp.Send(msg);
