How to Add & Save Attachments to an Email Message inside .NET applications
This technical tip explains how .NET developers can add and save files attached to an email message inside their .NET applications. The programming samples are provided both in VB.NET and C# to show how to add and save files attached to an email message. To save an attachment from an email, first create an instance of the MailMessage class and then specify sender and receiver email addresses in the MailMessage instance. After that, create an instance of the Attachment class. To add an attachment, load attachment into the Attachment instance and Save attachments in the Attachment instance specifying the path. At the end create an instance of the SmtpClient class and send the email using the Send method.
//your code here...
//Adding and Saving an Attachment
//[C# Code Sample]
using System;
using Aspose.Email.Mail;
using Aspose.Email;
namespace Saveattachment
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create an instance of the MailMessage class
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
//From field
message.From = "sender@sender.com";
//To field
message.To.Add("receiver@receiver.com");
//Adding 1st attachment
//Create an instance of Attachment class
Attachment attachment;
//Load or add an attachment
attachment = new Attachment(@"d:\1.txt");
//Save the attachment to a different path
attachment.Save(@"e:\2.txt");
//Now add the attachment to the message
message.Attachments.Add(attachment);
//Create an instance of the SmtpClient Class
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
//Specify your mailing host server
client.Host = "smtp.server.com";
//Specify your mail user name
client.Username = "Username";
//Specify your mail password
client.Password = "Password";
//Specify your Port #
client.Port = 25;
try
{
//Client.Send will send this message
client.Send(message);
//Display ‘Message Sent’, only if message sent successfully
Console.WriteLine("Message sent");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
Console.WriteLine("Press enter to quit");
Console.Read();
}
}
}
