Add a string as a mail attachment text file.

[Larry Viezel]

I have a string:

sring Result = "This is the string I want sent as a text file"

I have MailMessage:

MailMessage TestMail = new MailMessage();
TestMail.From = "larry.viezel@t mp.com";
TestMail.To = "larry.viezel@t mp.com";
TestMail.BodyFo rmat = MailFormat.Text ;
TestMail.Subjec t = "Test email";
TestMail.Body = "This would be the body of the email"


I want to add Result as a textfile attachement to the email. How can I
go about doing this? I would prefer if I didn't have to actually save
to the disk.

TestMail.Attach ments.Add(Resul t); //obviously this would be too
easy.
SmtpMail.Send(T estMail);

Any thoughts? Can I somehow cast this string into a MailAttachment as
if by magic?

Larry.

I think you are going to have to do the thing you don't want to do, which is
persist the string to a file, and then attach the file. On the upside, once
the mail is sent, there is nothing stopping your app from deleting the file.

Re: Add a string as a mail attachment text file.

Yup, Pete's correct.

You will have to create a text file and attach it.
