Attachment Constructor (Stream, String)
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
public Attachment ( Stream contentStream, String name )
public function Attachment ( contentStream : Stream, name : String )
Parameters
- contentStream
A readable Stream that contains the content for this attachment.
- name
A String that contains the value for the Name property of the ContentType associated with this attachment. This value can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
If name is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or equal to String.Empty (""), the ContentType for this attachment is constructed with the Name property set to name. 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.
// The following example sends a summary of a log file as the message // and the log as an e-mail attachment. public static void SendNamedErrorLog(string server, string recipientList) { // Create a message from logMailer@contoso.com to recipientList. MailMessage message = new MailMessage( "logMailer@contoso.com", recipientList); message.Subject = "Error Log report"; string fileName = "log.txt"; // Get the file stream for the error log. // Requires the System.IO namespace. FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); StreamReader s = new StreamReader(fs); int errors = 0; while (s.ReadLine() != null) { // Process each line from the log file here. errors++; } // The e-mail message summarizes the data found in the log. message.Body = String.Format("{0} errors in log as of {1}", errors, DateTime.Now); // Close the stream reader. This also closes the file. s.Close(); // Re-open the file at the beginning to make the attachment. fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); // Make a ContentType indicating that the log data // that is attached is plain text and is named. ContentType ct = new ContentType(); ct.MediaType = MediaTypeNames.Text.Plain; ct.Name = "log" + DateTime.Now.ToString() + ".txt"; // Create the attachment. Attachment data = new Attachment(fs, ct); // Add the attachment to the message. message.Attachments.Add(data); // Send the message. // Include credentials if the server requires them. SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server); client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials; client.Send(message); data.Dispose(); // Close the log file. fs.Close(); return; }
