MailBuilder<\/em> class to create email message. This will be plain text message sent from Alice to Bob:<\/p>\n\r\nMailBuilder builder = new MailBuilder();\r\nbuilder.From.Add(new MailBox("alice@mail.com", "Alice"));\r\nbuilder.To.Add(new MailBox("bob@mail.com", "Bob"));\r\nbuilder.Subject = "Test";\r\nbuilder.Text = "This is plain text message.";\r\n<\/pre>\nYou use AddAttachment<\/em> method to add new attachment to the email, it returns MimeData <\/em> class instance, that can by used to change\/set file name, data, content-id, or any other MIME header. This method has 3 overloads, that allow to create and add attachment from file, byte array or add existing MimeData <\/em>object as email attachment. In our sample we’ll create attachment from file located on disk. <\/p>\n\r\nMimeData attachment = builder.AddAttachment(@"..\/image.jpg");\r\n<\/pre>\nMail.dll email component automatically recognizes content type using file extension. When you create attachment using byte array or MemoryStream<\/em>, you can use ContentType<\/em> property to set it manually:<\/p>\n\r\nattachment.ContentType = ContentType.ImageJpeg;\r\n<\/pre>\nFinally we’ll use Smtp <\/em> component to connect to SMTP server and send your message.<\/p>\nFollowing is the entire sample, that creates new email message, adds attachment from file located on disk. Than it connects to specified SMTP server and sends the message. Please note that some error handling is missing for simplicity and you should examine ISendMessageResult<\/em>result object returned by SendMessage<\/em> to be sure that email sending was successful.<\/p>\n\r\n\/\/ C# version\r\n\r\nusing System;\r\nusing Limilabs.Mail;\r\nusing Limilabs.Mail.Headers;\r\nusing Limilabs.Client.SMTP;\r\n\r\nclass Program\r\n{\r\n static void Main(string[] args)\r\n {\r\n \/\/ Use builder class to create new email message\r\n MailBuilder builder = new MailBuilder();\r\n builder.From.Add(new MailBox("alice@mail.com", "Alice"));\r\n builder.To.Add(new MailBox("bob@mail.com", "Bob"));\r\n builder.Subject = "Test";\r\n builder.Text = "This is plain text message.";\r\n\r\n \/\/ Read attachment from disk, add it to Attachments collection\r\n MimeData attachment = builder.AddAttachment(@"..\/image.jpg");\r\n\r\n IMail email = builder.Create();\r\n\r\n \/\/ Send the message\r\n using (Smtp smtp = new Smtp())\r\n {\r\n smtp.Connect("server.example.com"); \/\/ or ConnectSSL for SSL\r\n smtp.UseBestLogin("user", "password"); \/\/ remove if not needed\r\n\r\n smtp.SendMessage(email);\r\n\r\n smtp.Close();\r\n }\r\n\r\n }\r\n};\r\n<\/pre>\n\r\n' VB.NET version\r\n\r\nImports Limilabs.Client.SMTP\r\nImports Limilabs.Mail\r\nImports Limilabs.Mail.MIME\r\nImports Limilabs.Mail.Headers\r\n\r\nPublic Module Module1\r\n Public Sub Main(ByVal args As String())\r\n\r\n ' Use builder class to create new email message\r\n Dim builder As New MailBuilder()\r\n builder.From.Add(New MailBox("alice@mail.com", "Alice"))\r\n builder.[To].Add(New MailBox("bob@mail.com", "Bob"))\r\n builder.Subject = "Test"\r\n builder.Text = "This is plain text message."\r\n\r\n ' Read attachment from disk, add it to Attachments collection\r\n Dim attachment As MimeData = builder.AddAttachment("..\/image.jpg")\r\n\r\n Dim email As IMail = builder.Create()\r\n\r\n ' Send the message\r\n Using smtp As New Smtp()\r\n smtp.Connect("server.example.com") ' or ConnectSSL for SSL\r\n smtp.UseBestLogin("user", "password") ' remove if not needed\r\n\r\n smtp.SendMessage(email)\r\n\r\n smtp.Close()\r\n End Using\r\n End Sub\r\nEnd Module\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In this article we\u2019ll create and send email with an attachment.
