using system.net.mail attachment is empty

[theWizard1]

The following sends my email, but the attachment is empty. The attachment
should contain the data that is in the string that was created from the
xmlReader.

I have a stored procedure written using For XML explicit, and it returns an
xml reader. Then the following:

xmlRdr.MoveToCo ntent();
string myTemp = xmlRdr.ReadOute rXml();

System.IO.Memor yStream memStream = new System.IO.Memor yStream();
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(me mStream);
sw.Write(myTemp );

System.Net.Mail .MailMessage mail = new System.Mail.Mai lMessage();
mail.From = new System.Net.Mail .MailAddress("i put my email address here");
mail.To.Add("I put my email address here, because it is just a test");
mail.Subject = "This is a test";
mail.Body = "this content is in the body";

System.Net.Mail .Attachment emailAttachment = new
System.Net.Mail .Attachment(mem Stream, "text/xml");
System.Net.Mime .ContentDisposi tion contentDispo =
emailAttachment .ContentDisposi tion;

contentDispo.Fi leName = "myFirstText.xm l";
mail.Attachment s.Add(emailAtta chment);

System.Net.Mail .SmtpClient smtp = new System.Net.Mail .SmtpClient("sm tp.put
myemailserverna mehere");
smtp.Send(mail) ;
memStream.Close ();

The above sends the email with an attachment, but the attachment is empty.

Note the xmlReader produces xml with a unique root, so no problem with the
string. I can see the data in the string when I debug, but the attachment
does not have it.

hi,

Try using the following piece of code for filling the memory stream

MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
UnicodeEncoding encoding = new UnicodeEncoding ();
Byte[] byteArray = encoding.GetByt es(myTemp);
memStream.Write (byteArray, 0, byteArray.GetLe ngth(0));
memStream.Seek( 0, SeekOrigin.Begi n);
regards,
pradeep
