I'm doing the file attachment through memory stream because temporary storage is not an option.
Here I did a Jpeg image attachment. I looked at other file types with which you could do the same by switching the MediaTypeNames, and unfortunately .doc and .docx is not among them.
I was wondering whether any of you know of any package and how to use it for this particular occasion?
//...set up MailMessage, add a bunch of non-file content to it
MemoryStream jpgStream = new MemoryStream();
string filename = uploadedFile.FileName;
System.Drawing.Image theImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(uploadedFile.InputStream);
theImage.Save(jpgStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
jpgStream.Seek(0L, SeekOrigin.Begin);
emailMessage.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(jpgStream, filename, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg));
//something extra and send email...
You should use MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet as mime type.
