opennetcf.net.mail attachment help

Question

Thanks for looking at my question.

I am trying to figure out attachments for OpenNetCF.Net.Mail. Here is the code for my SendMail function:

public static void SendMessage(string subject, 
  string messageBody, 
  string fromAddress, 
  string toAddress, 
  string ccAddress)
{
    MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
    SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

    MailAddress address = new MailAddress(fromAddress);

    // Set the sender's address
    message.From = address;

    // Allow multiple "To" addresses to be separated by a semi-colon
    if (toAddress.Trim().Length > 0)
    {
        foreach (string addr in toAddress.Split(';'))
        {
            message.To.Add(new MailAddress(addr));
        }
    }

    // Allow multiple "Cc" addresses to be separated by a semi-colon
    if (ccAddress.Trim().Length > 0)
    {
        foreach (string addr in ccAddress.Split(';'))
        {
            message.CC.Add(new MailAddress(addr));
        }
    }

    // Set the subject and message body text
    message.Subject = subject;
    message.Body = messageBody;

    // TODO: *** Modify for your SMTP server ***
    // Set the SMTP server to be used to send the message
    client.Host = "smtp.dscarwash.com";
    string domain = "dscarwash.com";
    client.Credentials = new SmtpCredential("mailuser", "dscarwash10", domain);

    // Send the e-mail message 
    try
    {
        client.Send(message);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        string data = e.ToString();
    }
}

It is supposed to be a matter of tweaking it in the following way to allow attachments:

Attachment myAttachment = new Attachment();
message.Attachments.Add(myAttachment);

The problem is that I cannot figure out how to get the attachment to add. The lines above should be it with something else in the middle where I actually tell it what file I would like to attach. Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

As per this MSDN documentation, you can specify the filename of the attachment as a parameter. Thus, you can give the fullpath as the string parameter.
