How to add buttons and textbox in email body using c#?

Question

as of now i am sending string text as email body.but i should send Ok,cancel button and some text.if user click on Ok need to do some functionality .if cancel need to open a textbox.please tell me ..

Look at emails you get from Facebook and explore their HTML. Don't mess with JavaScript in emails. Every button should link to a web page that does something. — Ofer Zelig, Dec 27 '12 at 09:51
You will need to use HTML emails for this. Assuming you are using the basic .NET emailer I think this means setting IsHTML property to true on the email body object. that having been said its not clear if your problem is the HTML or telling .NET to send as HTML. Some code and some clearer explanation of where you are stuck might help. — Chris, Dec 27 '12 at 09:53

look at here

you should Generate your HTML code like this :

mm.Body = "<h2>This is an HTML-Formatted Email Send Using the <code>IsBodyHtml</code> Property</h2><p>Isn't HTML <em>neat</em>?</p><p>You can make all sorts of <span style=""color:red;font-weight:bold;"">pretty colors!!</span>.</p>";
mm.IsBodyHtml = true;

You won't be able to run any scripts since most mail clients block this nowadays. If you want to include buttons in your emails, you'll have to insert images with links to a public web page of yours.
To understand who is the user who clicked on the link, you should also include some unique Guid in the URL...
Since many mail clients nowadays even refuse to load remote images, you might need to embeed the images inside the email.

Anyways, an example of such a "remote callback" could be something like this:

<a href="http://mywebsite.com/buttonclick.aspx?ClickId=[SomeUniqueGuid]><img src="http://mywebsite.com/image.png"></a>

But just to make it clear - you have NO WAY of popping up textboxes or adding scripts unless your invent your own mail client

     public string SendEmail(string mTo, string mSubject, string mBody)
        {
            string host = "xxx";
            string str2 = "xxx";
            string userName = "xxx";
            string password = "xxx";
            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(host) {
                Port = 0x1b,
                Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password)
            };
            MailAddress from = new MailAddress(str2, userName, Encoding.UTF8);
            MailAddress to = new MailAddress(mTo);
            MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to) {
                IsBodyHtml = true,
                Body = mBody,
                Subject = mSubject
            };
            client.Send(message);
            return "email sent";
        }
