Add a string as a mail attachment text file.

[Larry Viezel]

I have a string:

sring Result = "This is the string I want sent as a text file"

I have MailMessage:

MailMessage TestMail = new MailMessage();
TestMail.From = "la**********@tmp.com";
TestMail.To = "la**********@tmp.com";
TestMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
TestMail.Subject = "Test email";
TestMail.Body = "This would be the body of the email"
I want to add Result as a textfile attachement to the email. How can I
go about doing this? I would prefer if I didn't have to actually save
to the disk.

TestMail.Attachments.Add(Result); //obviously this would be too
easy.
SmtpMail.Send(TestMail);

Any thoughts? Can I somehow cast this string into a MailAttachment as
if by magic?

Larry.

I think you are going to have to do the thing you don't want to do, which is
persist the string to a file, and then attach the file. On the upside, once
the mail is sent, there is nothing stopping your app from deleting the file.

Yup, Pete's correct.

You will have to create a text file and attach it.
