I've got this code that sends a simple email using SmtpClient, MailMessage, and MailAddress objects:
private void EmailMessage(string msg)
{
string TO_EMAIL = "cshannon@proactusa.com";
var windowsIdentity = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
string userName = windowsIdentity.Name;
string subject = string.Format("Log msg from Report Runner app sent {0}; user was {1}", DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString(), userName);
string body = msg;
var SmtpServer = new SmtpClient(ReportRunnerConstsAndUtils.EMAIL_SERVER);
var SendMe = new MailMessage();
SendMe.To.Add(TO_EMAIL);
SendMe.Subject = subject;
SendMe.From = new MailAddress(ReportRunnerConstsAndUtils.FROM_EMAIL);
SendMe.Body = body;
try
{
SmtpServer.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
SmtpServer.Send(SendMe);
}
}
I also need, though, to attach a file to an email. I was doing it using Outlook like so:
Application app = new Application();
MailItem mailItem = app.CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem);
. . .
FileInfo[] rptsToEmail = GetLastReportsGenerated();
foreach (var file in rptsToEmail)
{
String fullFilename = String.Format("{0}\\{1}", uniqueFolder, file.Name);
if (!file.Name.Contains(PROCESSED_FILE_APPENDAGE))
{
mailItem.Attachments.Add(fullFilename);
}
}
mailItem.Importance = OlImportance.olImportanceNormal;
mailItem.Display(false);
...but I need to move away from using Outlook for this. Here the MailItem is a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem
How can I add attachments in the simple MailMessage I need to use now?
Setting the Importance is not too important, I don't think, but the Display is something I will need to set for the MailMessage, too.
Easy:
if (!file.Name.Contains(PROCESSED_FILE_APPENDAGE))
{
var attachment = new Attachment(fullFilename);
mailMsg.Attachments.Add(attachment);
}
mailMsg.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
