VB.NET

Change the Filename of a Related Item

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.SetRelatedFilename method, which sets (changes) the filename stored for a related item within the email. The index is zero-based. This example adds a related style sheet and renames it, printing the filename before and after.

Background: A related item's filename identifies the embedded resource within the message. Changing it is occasionally needed to match how the HTML body references the resource, or to give an embedded image or style sheet a cleaner name. Keep in mind that if the HTML links to the item by that name (via Content-Location), the reference should be kept in sync with the new filename.
