Specifies how the message data is sent by the channel.

Namespace: Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Mail
Assembly: Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Mail (in Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Mail.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Enumeration MessageContainerType
'Usage
Dim instance As MessageContainerType

public enum MessageContainerType

public enum class MessageContainerType

type MessageContainerType

Members

	Member name	Description
	Default	The MinimumAttachmentSize property is used to determine whether the message will be sent in the e-mail message body or as an attachment. This is the default value.
	Body	The message is sent in the e-mail message body regardless of the message size.
	Attachment	The message is sent as an e-mail attachment regardless of the message size.

Remarks

When the encoding element is TextMessageEncodingBindingElement, all enumeration members are supported. However, custom encoders must use the Attachment member.

It is typically more efficient to download larger messages as attachments, and download smaller messages in the message body. For the most precise control over how the message is sent, use the Default member and set the MinimumAttachmentSize property.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the MessageContainerType enumeration.

' Instantiate a TextMessageEncodingBindingElement or
' a custom encoding binding element. If you use a custom encoding
' binding element, messages must be sent as attachments.
msgEncodingBindingElement = New CustomMessageEncodingBindingElement()
mailTransportBindingElement = New WindowsMobileMailTransportBindingElement()

mailTransportBindingElement.MessageContainerType = MessageContainerType.Attachment

// Instantiate a TextMessageEncodingBindingElement or
// a custom encoding binding element. If you use a custom encoding
// binding element, messages must be sent as attachments.
msgEncodingBindingElement = new CustomMessageEncodingBindingElement();
mailTransportBindingElement = new WindowsMobileMailTransportBindingElement();

mailTransportBindingElement.MessageContainerType = MessageContainerType.Attachment;
