Initializes a new instance of the Attachment class with the specified stream, name, and MIME type information.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Public Sub New ( _ contentStream As Stream, _ name As String, _ mediaType As String _ )
public Attachment( Stream contentStream, string name, string mediaType )
public:
Attachment(
Stream^ contentStream,
String^ name,
String^ mediaType
)
new : contentStream:Stream * name:string * mediaType:string -> Attachment
Parameters
- contentStream
- Type: System.IO.Stream
A readable Stream that contains the content for this attachment.
- name
- Type: System.String
A String that contains the value for the Name property of the ContentType associated with this attachment. This value can be null.
- mediaType
- Type: System.String
A String that contains the MIME Content-Header information for this attachment. This value can be null.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException |
stream is null. |
| FormatException |
mediaType is not in the correct format. |
If mediaType is not null or equal to String.Empty (""), it is used to construct the ContentType class associated with this attachment.
If mediaType and name both contain Name information, the value specified in name is used. The TransferEncoding property is set to Base64.
If the stream's CanSeek property is false, the attachment and the MailMessage that contains it are not reusable. You must supply a stream that can be searched in order to reuse an attachment.
The following code example demonstrates how to call this constructor.
