Rao r usure that image present in such location. if yes then you can use ~ or .. before starting of path. Method 1: Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath(~\images\fb.gif)); Attachment imgAtt2 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath(~\images\twiter.gif)); Method 2: Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath(..\images\fb.gif)); Attachment imgAtt2 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath(..\images\twiter.gif)); also make sure that images folder name is in small letters.

use ~ symbol instead of \ to escape path.

we can use in three ways 1. Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath(~/images/fb.gif)); 2. Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath(../images/fb.gif)); string strpath=file_full_path/images/fb.gif; 3. Attachment imgAtt1 = new Attachment(Server.MapPath('+strpath+'));
