    HtmlMeta tagimg = new HtmlMeta();
    tagimg.Attributes.Add("property", "og:img");
    tagimg.Content = imgAddress;
    Page.Header.Controls.Add(tagimg);

    HI
    thanks for reply.
    No I am not getting any error message. But og:image is not showing on whatsapp. I tried below tests.

    Tests:
    1] Response.Write("<meta property='og:image' content=" + imgAdd + " itemprop='image'>");

    2] Response.Write("<meta property='og:image:secure_url' content=" + imgAdd + " itemprop='image'>");

    3] Response.Write("<meta property='og:image' content=" + imgAdd + " itemprop='image'>");

    imgAdd is the variable where I stored sent Image url.

    I removed my previous code which I mentioned above in Page_Load

    Hi @WebForm_Developer ,
    I tried your code, the problem is the missing quotes.
    Response.Write("<meta property='og:image' content=" + imgAdd + " itemprop='image'>");
    output:
    191726-image.png

    HtmlMeta tagimg = new HtmlMeta();  
    tagimg.Attributes.Add("property", "og:img");  
    tagimg.Content = imgAddress;  
    Page.Header.Controls.Add(tagimg);  
    

    output:
    191714-image.png
    You can see the difference by looking at the output above.You can see the difference by looking at the output above, so you need to put single quotes around the content.**content='" + imgAdd + "'**.
    Response.Write("<meta property='og:image' content='" + imgAdd + "' itemprop='image'/>");
    output
    191727-image.png

    No. Still not working....

    Updated code:

    Response.Write("<meta property='og:image' content='" + imgAdd + "' itemprop='image'>");
    Response.Write("<meta property='og:image:secure_url' content='" + imgAdd + "' itemprop='image'>");

    It's working very fine if I paste the URL on facebook or send SMS. Only problem while sending with whatsapp
