Initializes a new instance of the Attachment class with the specified content string and MIME type information.

Namespace:   System.Net.Mail
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

public:
Attachment(
	String^ fileName,
	String^ mediaType
)

Parameters

fileName
Type: System::String^

A String that contains the content for this attachment.

mediaType
Type: System::String^

A String that contains the MIME Content-Header information for this attachment. This value can be null.

Exception Condition

fileName is null.

FormatException

mediaType is not in the correct format.

If mediaType is null or equal to String::Empty (""), the MediaType property for this attachment is set to Plain. If mediaType is not null and is not a zero-length string, it is used to construct the ContentType associated with this attachment.

The following code example demonstrates how to call this constructor.

static void CreateMessageInlineAttachment( String^ server, String^ textMessage )
{

   // Create a message and set up the recipients.
   MailMessage^ message = gcnew MailMessage( L"jane@contoso.com",L"ben@contoso.com",L"An inline text message for you.",L"Message: " );

   // Attach the message string to this e-mail message.
   Attachment^ data = gcnew Attachment( textMessage,MediaTypeNames::Text::Plain );

   // Send textMessage as part of the e-mail body.
   message->Attachments->Add( data );
   ContentDisposition^ disposition = data->ContentDisposition;
   disposition->Inline = true;

   //Send the message.
   // Include credentials if the server requires them.
   SmtpClient^ client = gcnew SmtpClient( server );
   client->Credentials = CredentialCache::DefaultNetworkCredentials;
   client->Send( message );
   data->~Attachment();
   client->~SmtpClient();
}
