AttachmentCollection.Add Method (String, String)

Adds the attachment from a file.

public bool Add(
string filename,
string targetFilename
);

Parameters

filename: The absolute or relative path to the file which should be attached.
targetFilename: The filename of the attachment as it should appear in the mail message. If a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), MailBee will take it from filename parameter value. If an empty string, the attachment will have no name.

Return Value

true if the attachment was successfully added; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The targetFilename parameter allows the developer to override the filename under which the attachment will be added to the collection. This is useful when the developer wants to add the attachment from a temporary file such as ETQB4914.TMP under meaningful name such as report.doc.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
MailBeeInvalidArgumentException	filename is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string.
MailBeeIOException	An error occurred and ThrowExceptions is true.

Example

[C#]
// To use the code below, import MailBee namespaces at the top of your code.
using MailBee;
using MailBee.Mime;

// The actual code (put it into a method of your class)

// Load the message from file.
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.LoadMessage(@"C:\Docs\TestMail.eml");

// Add the attachment to the message.
msg.Attachments.Add(@"C:\Docs\pict1.tmp","map.jpg");
