Mail.Attactments - Add A Bitmap Image File As An Attachment?
Jul 20, 2011
I am using the SmtpClient object to send an email in code. I have the emailing facility working however I wantt to include attaching a bitmap image file to the email and dont know how to do that. Can someone provied me with some simple code to show me how?
I'm having an issue where the ContentLength is being set to 0 when I try to use an external function to save a file toa server after I use the same file as an attachment:Dim tempFileColl As HttpFileCollection = Request.FilesDim tempFile As HttpPostedFile = tempFileColl.Get(0)
I have a function that accepts a string and generates an email attachment based on that string. It works fine for html pages, text documents, and so forth but I can not get it to generate a PDF file.
Code:
Public Sub SendMail _ ( _ ByVal strFrom As String _ [code]......
If I save the file attachment as Whatever.PDF i get the error that it was not encoded properly.I am using datadynamics active reports PDF exporter to generate the PDF
dim pdf as new datadynamics.activereports.export.pdf.pdfexport sendmail("from@", "to@", "test", "test", pdf.tostring, "pdf.pdf")
I think the problem is I am converting the PDF to a string, and then trying to convert it back to a PDF and attach it to the email but I am not 100% sure.
I am using vb.net to display email from outlook express! Everything work fine but when some message has attachment, i can not display message that email has attachment!
I have an image stored in sql server. I want to retrieve the image and place it in a MailMessage object, not as an attachment file, but as part of the html body. I found many samples using local image file, but I have not found any using an image from a database.
Once again I've ran into a (at least for me) weird problem, which I can't figure out.I have a form which allows users to send an email with an attachment and also stores the email in an accessdatabase. When sending an email without an attachment, there is no problem and all is saved to the database.
But when sending an email with an attachment, it produces an error that the database is not found, and therefore nothing is saved to the database.
How do I attach multiple files as e-mail attachments in vb.net? I am trying to use a list box where user will select the file and attach which will appear in a listbox. And also I would like to give the option to delete the attachment also.
I am writting a program to sendout email by reading from SQL database and get the data out for the email information: To, From, subject, body and attachment. I am importing system.net.mail. But My email will send without any attachment but it will not send with the attachment. It give me this error: Logon Failure: Unknow UserName or bad password. However if I send the email with the attachment that is not get from the sql database. It will send just fine.
I am trying to convert from a text file to an image(bitmap) file. For example, test.txt: 01 23 34 56 78 90
[Code]....
The first step will be reading the data, so I created some VB codes:
Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog() openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt" openFileDialog1.Title = "Select a text File" ' Show the Dialog.
' If the user clicked OK in the dialog and ' an image file was selected, open it.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then ' Open file. [Code]...
The second step will be converting the data to some data format which can be used in a bitmap image. This part is making me confused. Some codes I made is listed below:
I have this code to attach an image that is saved in my sql database as an attachments (or can be embedded picture) to an email. It is suppose to be a signature for an Outlook email. So I am attaching it to the email. Here is my code. On the line myNewMail.Attachments.Add I get the error "Value does not fall within the expected range."
Globals.EmailSignatureImage.Imagecontent is Byte() I know it has the correct data in it, because I show it in a picturebox correctly.
Dim contenttype As New Net.Mime.ContentType Dim memStream As System.IO.MemoryStream
I am teaching myself vb.net and wanted to change this code to have an embedded mail.boby from a text file instead of the file attachment. Code spippet below and where I need help is mail.Body = ("tracertALL.txt") that just puts the name of the file NOT the contents of the file. This code is a CMDWrapper that runs a batch file and I want the contents of a trace route that is pipe to a file >> tracertALL.txt .
I have an image in my VB.NET Picture box. I would like to attach it to the email message I'm sending through Outlook without having to save it to the drive anywhere. Is it possible to do such a thing?
Here's what I have so far (taken from here):
Public Class email Dim app As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application Dim appNameSpace As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._NameSpace
[Code].....
When I comment out the attachment line it works perfectly fine, otherwise it throws a COMError. I haven't been able to find any real good information about attaching an email that way, or if it's even possible. If I can't do it this way I plan on just saving the file to some random(ish) name in C:TEMP, but it would be nicer if I didn't have to worry about that.
I'm trying to take the image of a picturebox and email it, but instead of an attachment, I need to "reference" that image as part of the html, such as:img src=" & myPictureBox.Image & "></img>
oviously that doesn't work, but that kind of what I'm going for. what do I need to do in able to reference that image? there may possible be a LOT of images being sent in one email, so saving these images to disk first or something doesn't seem like a viable solution. The size of the images won't change either, what you see in the picturebox is what you should see in the email (they're smaller thumbnail size images)
I convert a SVG to canvas using canvg to an image and then vb.net client side I convert the image to bytearray() and saved it to a folder on my server so I can attached by email :
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim path = Server.MapPath("PDFs") Dim fileNameWithPath As String = path + DateTime.Now.ToString().Replace("/", "-").Replace(" ", "-").Replace(":", "") + ".jpeg" Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream(fileNameWithPath, FileMode.Create) Dim bw As BinaryWriter = New BinaryWriter(fs) [Code] .....
This code works fine and it send the image. Actually I don't need to save this image to my server I just wanted to send it without saving, this is what I have done so far. Protected Sub emailSend_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles emailSend.Click Dim customerChoice As String = DropDownList1.Text Select Case customerChoice Case "pdf" [Code] .....
MVC3, VB.NET. I have a function in my app that is supposed to use a html file's contents for the email body. However what I have so far is failing at the mail.body = file.readalltext(_body) line..
I have been able to find out how to send an email using smtp with an image as an attachment, but the problem with this, is that, as a txt message, it comes up as something like [Attachment removed] or something. I need to be able to send my cell phone a picture message, not just an attachment. [Code]
I have Attactments in a old access Database table that I need to show to the user in VB.net. After doing everything we can think of we been looking for days and found this and starting putting it back togerther.
But at this point it is telling me {"Unrecognized database format 'F:\CLSINC\WORD\CLS programmer\CLS Helpdesk.accdb'."} db = dbEngine.OpenDatabase("F:\CLSINC\WORD\CLS programmer\CLS Helpdesk.accdb", False, False, "")
I'm having a problem that I've spent all day researching to try and figure out. It seems that the 'Attachment' type in an Access 2007 DB file is stored as three seperate pieces of data in the one field. If you open up the Relationships view, you can see it in the table itself.
I'm trying to do a simple DVD movie database to keep track of everything I have, and who I've loaned things out to. I'm doing this in part to further my education in VB.NET and to figure out some of the things involved with interacting with databases. I haven't actually written any code yet, read on and you'll understand what's going on.
I've got an Attachment field setup in the database to hold a picture of the movie poster or DVD cover art or something like that to help identify the film, and I named it 'Art' of type 'Attachment' since that will hold an image. Looking at the table in Access I see that 'Art' is broken down into three entries: Art.FileData, Art.FileName, Art.FileType. I'd like to be able to pull the filename and file type and display those on the form, but we'll get to that later.
When I use a drag-n-drop gridview of the database into my blank VB form, the Art field just shows the filename, in my case it's 'screenshot.png' since I just dumped a screen shot in as a test. So, the gridview on the form will see the field and display the filename, which is fine. If I do another Windows form and drag-n-drop a Details View (instead of the grid view), and have the Art field in the table set to a PictureBox (in the Data Sources view, you can highlight a field and then designate it as text or picture or date or whatever), I end up with a blank box instead of my image.
I haven't typed any code into any of the forms at this point. I'm still in the Designer trying to get the layout and stuff the way I want it, afterwhich I'll start adding buttons and methods and such to search for things, print out a nice list of the films in the database (with and without pictures) and be able to sort out a list of who I've loaned things to (like an overdue book list). But so far, by just dragging and dropping from the Data Sources into the form, Studio automatically creates the dataset and bindings and such to read from the database file, and I can see all of my test data *except* for the image in the PictureBox (it's just blank/empty).
So, if you want to see what's happening and sort this out, then you need to do the following:
1. Create an access database with a table, that table having at least one field of type 'Attachment'
2. put a picture/image into that field as a first entry
3. in Studio (or in my case Express), create a new project, which'll have a blank form in it by default
4. create your database connection by using the 'Add new data source...' wizard for your Access DB file
5. from the Data Sources, expand the table views and change the attachemnt field from the default of TextBox to a PictureBox (you may have to Customize the types to get PictureBox to show up)
6. drag and drop that whole table onto your form, which will automatically create form elements to display the data and stuff
7. Run it, you'll see the problem.
I have no idea what I need to look at or edit or change to get this PictureBox to display the image from the database. Like I said before, if I leave the type set to the default of TextBox in the Data Sources view, then the field will display the filename of the file stored in that field of the database. Having not typed any code yet, I have nothing that I've done that I can edit other than the automatically created stuff that Studio did when I dragged the table into the form.
Being completely unfamiliar with how VB.NET wants to talk to a database (SQL server, Access or otherwise) I decided to create this little program to learn how to do it. But I ran into this problem and need a little help. What I'm looking for is what I need to change in the bindingSource or TableAdapter or TableAdapterManager or BindingsNavigator or whatever resource is binding the fields on the form to the entries in the database so that the PictureBox will get the part of my 'Art' field that actually holds the image, not the filename or the type. I don't know how to do that, and that's what I'm trying to learn. What I would like to know is how to both get the image to display in the PicutreBox and pull the filename for that image as well to display beneath it or something in the form.
And before someone starts complaining about writing the whole program for me, I must say this is one element of a large personal project and if you read my entire post here you'll see that there are many other elements that will eventually go with it. I just need some help getting this one thing to work. Multiple web searches and such point to a variety of different approaches, many of which I've tried to implement but nothing has worked. I'd like to do this entirely in .NET with no other dependencies if at all possible, but some of what I've seen so far today suggests using Interop and other things to make this work, but those haven't panned out for me either as of yet. My ultimate goal with this whole program is to have one (albeit probably large) executable file that will encompass the entire program, and to have it all work. After that, then I'll look into things like creating my own modules and DLL's and such to thin it out, but I'm not even close to that point yet.
This code resizes a jpeg image, but instead of saving it I simply want to display the result in a picturebox. I moused over the the image box and the value thumb and they seem to be different formats. How can i convert bitmap to image?
