Add Email Attachments from In-Memory Data

VB.NET source code showing how to add email attachments from in-memory strings and byte arrays.

        Dim success As Boolean = False

        ' Create a mailman object for sending email.
        Dim mailman As New Chilkat.MailMan()

        ' Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
        mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")

        ' Set the SMTP server.
        mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.earthlink.net"

        ' Create an email object
        Dim email As New Chilkat.Email()

        ' Add two attachments from in-memory data.
        ' One from a byte array, the other from a string.
        email.AddStringAttachment("something.txt", "This is the attached file contents")

        Dim byteData(10) As Byte
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To 9
            byteData(i) = CByte(i)
        Next i
        email.AddDataAttachment("something.dat", byteData)

        ' Set the basic email stuff: body, subject, "from", "to"
        email.Body = "This is the email body"
        email.Subject = "This is an email with an attachment."
        email.AddTo("Chilkat Support", "support@chilkatsoft.com")
        email.From = "Programmer <programmer@chilkatsoft.com>"

        success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
        If Not success Then
            MessageBox.Show(mailman.LastErrorText)
            Return
        End If
