Send mail attachment

[Code Monkey]

I've created a web service in .Net v2 that takes a couple of parameters
(ie; to address, subject and body) that sends an email.

I now want to extend this so that it can send attachments (ie; a PDF).
Is this possible? If so, how does one go about doing it?
Hope someone can help me out here.

Thanks in advance......

I forgot to mention, that I'm accessing the webservice from a windows
form application.

It is possible, all you have to do is send the file to the webservice, you
could load the file in a byte[] and then send this array. once in the server
side you recreate the file and attach it as usual.

I don't have code here with me, but it should be plain simple

Hi Code Monkey,

Create and pass along MailAttachment objects. They are serializable.
Unfortunately they expect the file to exist on the filesystem on your side
(WinForm) so may be clunky if you already have the body in a byte stream.

Best personal regards,
