Stream binary to file in C#

[fred80]

Hello
This is my first post here :)

I have a table that hold attachments in binary format. The problem started when i've been asked to write a code that send an email that have all these file as attachments. Am using the System.Net.Mail . It accepts attachment as a string. I tried to stream these file, but i didn't get any results. and, creating a temp doc is not a good solution, since there is no permission for users to write on the server.

Is there any solution for this problem?

Thank you
Fred

Welcome to TheS..er, I mean Bytes! You should have posted this over in the .NET forum, as C# is a .NET language. Also, since a mod will likely move this before long, can you post some code so that those who know C# can help?

And you were not able to use
System.Net.Mail .Attachment(Str eam, AttachmentName, MediaType) ?

If your trouble is that you have a byte[], consider using the MemoryStream object.

Well that makes it sound like you are passing in a string, i thought you had a byte[] from a database?
