Smtp.AddAttachment Method

Reads the specified file from disk and adds it as attachment to the message.

public bool AddAttachment(
string filename
);

Parameters

filename: The full path and filename of the file to be attached.

Return Value

true if the method succeeds; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Smtp.AddAttachment method is equivalent to Smtp.Message.Attachments.Add method (see Add).

The developer can use overloads of Add method to add attachments in an advanced way (memory or stream attachments, attachments of a specific type, etc).

Note If you send multiple messages reusing the same Message object, be sure to clear Attachments collection of Message object by calling Clear method after each send. Otherwise, the attachments added to the collection during send operation will still remain in the collection when new attachments are added for the next send operation.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
MailBeeException	An error occurred and ThrowExceptions is true.
