Add a String Attachment to an Email

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email object's AddStringAttachment method, which adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string — no file needs to exist on disk. The 1st argument is the filename that is written into the MIME (it is not a path to a file that is read), and the 2nd argument is the text that becomes the attachment's body. In this example we build a simple email, attach a small CSV file named people.csv straight from a string, and then print the resulting MIME so you can see the attachment embedded in the message. C#

//  This example demonstrates the Email object's AddStringAttachment method.
//  AddStringAttachment adds an attachment directly from an in-memory string.
//  The 1st argument is the filename to be placed in the MIME (not a file to be read).
//  The 2nd argument is the text content that becomes the attachment body.

Chilkat.Email email = new Chilkat.Email();

email.Subject = "Email with a string attachment";
email.Body = "See the attached CSV file.";
email.From = "mary@example.com";
email.AddTo("Joe","joe@example.com");

//  The text content of the attachment.
string csvData = "id,name\r\n1,Alice\r\n2,Bob\r\n";

//  Add the string as an attachment named "people.csv".
email.AddStringAttachment("people.csv",csvData);

//  Show the full MIME of the email, which now includes the attachment.
Debug.WriteLine(email.GetMime());
