Mail attachment from memory

[Goran Djuranovic]

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to send mail with attachment from memory, rather than from a file on disk? I am using VB.NET 2003.

Thanks in advance

Hi Goran,

As for .NET 1.1, the system.web.mail component only support file based
attachement, if you do need to send attachement from inmemory or other
source, we may need to consider using other 3rd party smtp component. For
..NET 2.0, the system.net.mail component can help generate attachment from
different source(include inmemoryt stream).

Hi vbnetdev,
Thanks for your response. I was just trying to dodge the "3rd party"
solution. As for the problem, I was trying to attach HTMLDocument without
having to save it to the disk, but got the "Specified cast is not valid."
error on ".Send(MailObj)" line.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your response. Too bad .NET v1.1 does not support that.
As for the problem specifics, I was trying to attach HTMLDocument without
having to save it to the disk, but got the "Specified cast is not valid."
error on ".Send(MailObj)" line.

Hi Homer,
I am trying to attach HTML (or any other) document without having to save it to the disk. It get the "Specified cast is not valid." error on ".Send(MailObj)" line.
I guess I could format the Mail object to be HTML, bad I would really like to send HTML doc.

Thanks

Thanks for the response Goran,

Yes, it is a bit awkward that the 1.1 System.Web.Mail component doesn't
provide such built-in funcitons and that's also why the 2.0 framework
include a pure new and powerful System.Net.Mail namespace. So far using 3rd
party component will be the available approach.

I've used the free http://www.aspemail.com/index.html in ASP; it comes with
a wrapper assembly for use in ASP.NET.
