Hi,

I have build a custom dnn module. The user imports some stuff, and i generate a xml document.
Next thing is sending a mail with the xml document as an attachment.

My question is how I can do that. The Mail.SendMail method only seems to have a string parameter 'Attachment' where i can insert a path to a file.. That would mean that i will have to save the xml document to disk first, mail it, and delete it again.. Is there a nicer cleaner solution to attach my xml document to the email? Or doesn't dotnetnuke support custom attachments?

Greetings Erik

I'm not so certain about the DotNetNuke mail stuff... but the built in .NET handler (.NET 2.0) is fairly decent:

System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient client = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
client.Host = "mail.somehost.com";
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage message = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
message.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("somebody@somehost.com");
message.Subject = "Some subject";
message.Body = "blah";
message.To.Add("somebody@somewhereelse.com");
// this can also add from a filestream
System.Net.Mail.Attachment attch = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(somePath);
message.Attachments.Add(attch);
client.Send(message);
attch.Dispose();
// alternatively, can do a "using System.Net.Mail.Attachment attch = new ..." to automatically dispose after it is done

Savvy?

Yeah i know i can be done that way also.
But since dotnetnuke has its own mail wrapper, i thought i was nice to use it. But it seems like the mail wrapper doesn't have support for normal attachments? (except for filepath's). Maybe it would be a nice expansion, since a lot of mail contains attachments
