How can I programmatically add a file attachment to an InfoPath form using VB.Net?

Would anyone know how to add a file from disk to a InfoPath 2007 form as a
file attachment using VB.net code? The following link has a c# example but I
can not get this to work.

You want to have a file automatically attached or you do not want to have the user browse for it?

I have done a seperate attach process to automatically take an email attachment and inject it into a form before.

Give me a bit more details of what you are trying to do.

Hi Clay,

Thanks for your response, I need to inject a PDF file into the form as an attachment. The PDF file is located on the local PC hard drive. Therefore, the user will not browse for it, the user clicks a button within the form, then the vb.net code collects the C:\test.pdf file, encodes to base64, assigns header info etc. The user then can open the PDF from the InfoPath form via a standard attachment control (right click open).

Hope this clears things up.
