This is my code and I want to add image in the message body.

A string.format would make that way more readable/maintainable — Alex K., Dec 20 '13 at 12:15

Is the image in a binary format, or is it hosted on a webserver? — John, Dec 20 '13 at 12:18

It seems your creating the inline HTML for message body. In this case you can generate the base64 string for image and then embed the image source for image tag with base64 string like below -

<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADIA..."/>

Use image tag to display the image in your body of the mail.

Instead of storing the image in to DB refer the image path. Do the following steps

Just upload the image in to you're server location.
Store the image path in to DB
Get the image path from DB and bind it to image source.

For Example.

 <img height="" width="" border="0" alt="" src="https://www.xyz.com/images/123.jpg"></img>

Bindling the image URL

<tr><td> <img height="" width="" border="0" alt=" src="+ myds.Tables[1].Rows[0].Field<string>("imageurl").ToString() + "></img></td> </tr>

Your entire code could be..

message.Body = "Dear " + myds.Tables[0].Rows[0].Field<string>("C_Name").ToString() + " <br /> <br /> Your Registrtion is Successfull...<br/><br/><table  border='4'><tr><td>Name = " + myds.Tables[0].Rows[0].Field<string>("C_Name").ToString() + " </td><td> Pax= " + myds.Tables[1].Rows[0].Field<int>("pax").ToString() + "</td> </tr>
**<tr><td> <img height="" width="" border="0" alt=" src="+ myds.Tables[1].Rows[0].Field<string>("imageurl").ToString() + "></img></td> </tr>**
<tr><td>Della Adventure,Kunegao,Lonavala</td><td>CheckIn Date= " + myds.Tables[0].Rows[0].Field<string>("Checkin_date").ToString() + "</td></tr></table>";
