Mail attachment

No,

None of the formats worked for  me.

more over I'm getting the full path of the file name in a variable and passing that as the attachment.  I  do not know how many subdirectories will be there  ?

Thanks

You did not answer my question: In which context are you trying to send the attachments?
an smtp mail client?
a webmail?
a webserver scripting language (PHP, ASP or other)?
a program you wrote yourself?

> I'm getting the full path of the file name in a variable.
That does not mean you cannot transform it.  But that means that 8.3-names won't work.

maybe
$filepath = "C:\Documents and setings\my documents\sample.txt"
@$filepath

?

Dear All,

Thanks for your suggestions.
 I found the solution for my problem and I fixed it.

Hi maUru,

Sorry about that.

Actually I was trying to upload an attachment without saving to a hard disk or  to a web server.

I was trying to Upload the file which was in a memory stream and passing that file name as attachment(C:\\Documents and settings\my documents\sample.txt) . This obviously throws Invalid mail attachment exception because , mail attachment may not accept the spacing between subdirectory( Documents and settings like that)

I forgot to use the PostedFile.SaveAs method which saves the attachments in a web server.

I'm creating a Temp Directory and save the Attachemnts in that folder . these files will be deleted once the mails are sent.

 string strFileName =myFile.PostedFile.FileName;   //myFile is name of HtmlInputFile Control

string strFileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(strFileName);

string sPath= "C:\\TempUploadFiles";
// To Check if the Directory Exists//

if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(sPath))
{
 DirectoryInfo  dirInfo= Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\\TempUploadFiles");
string strTempFilePath=dirInfo.GetFullName+"/"+ strFileName;  // strFileName is the name of the file

myFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(strTempFilePath);      

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage mailMessage = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();

 MailAttachment MyAttachment= new MailAttachment(strTempFilePath);
mailMessage.Attachments.Add(MyAttachment);
                     
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(mailMessage);      
System.IO.File.Delete(strTempFilePath);
}                                    

Thanks
Anitha
