Email Attachment from Web Page (without saving to HD)

[Guest]

Is it possible to upload a document (from asp.net page file upload control)
and attach to an email message without saving to the hard drive?

thx

Dave,

In Visual Studio 2005 that is now possible. In 2003 it is not (I believe).

Do you have any tips? I have searched the web and have yet to see one example
where the uploaded file was not saved to disk first (prior to attaching to an
email)

Any clues would be appreciated.
thx

Dave,

In Visual Studio 2005 you just have to add two lines to the normal email
code snippet (assuming you already have the file as a System.IO.Stream):

Dim message As New MailMessage("sender@address", "from@address", "Subject",
"Message Text")

Dim ItemAttached As New System.Net.Mail.Attachment(contentStream As
System.IO.Stream, Name)

message.Attachments.Add(ItemAttached)

Dim emailClient As New SmtpClient("Email Server Name")

emailClient.Send(message)


Regards,
