Programmatically Create An .eml File That Contains A .pdf As Attachment?
Jun 12, 2009
I'm writing my program in VB.Net,Part of my program is supposed to create a .eml file containing either an xml or a pdf file or both as attachments. Prior to writing this program, I had never seen what a .eml file looks like, let alone an .eml file with attachments(I never used any of the outlooks), so I got someone to send me an email containing both these attachments and save the .eml file, so I could use this as a template in my own program.However, I noticed that the pdf file, after having been attached, is a huge string of letters(see below). Probably some sort of encoding. My problem is, my program is going to be creating several different pdf files and adding them as attachments to .eml files. How do I encode the different pdf files into a similar huge string of text as the one below? Or am I going about this the wrong way? What would be an alternative way to do this? Because having to encode that long string of text seems like it would be a very daunting task.[code]
We have a vendor that sends CSV files as email attachments. These CSV files contain statuses that are imported into our application. I'm trying to automate the process end-to-end, but it currently depends on someone opening an email, saving the attachment to a server share, so the application can use the file.Since I cannot convince the vendor to change their process, such as offering an FTP location or a Web Service, I'm stuck with trying to automate the existing process.
programmatically open an email from a POP3 account and extract an attachment? The preferred solution would reside on a Windows 2003 server, be written VB.NET and secure. The application can reside on the same server as the POP3 server, for example, we could setup the free POP3 server that comes with Windows Server and pull against the mail file stored on the file system.

I'm wanting to create a database programmatically from the edmx or edmx.sqlce file in my project. I read the best practice when sending the data out to users this is the best way.But I haven't found anything on it. Or is it best to create it and send it out with the program? How would I do updates to the database if I did this? How do I tell which version the database is?
I would like to create an outlook message with a subject and some attachments for the user to send when they are ready. I have the file paths for the attachments.
Basically the user needs to click a button on the application and that open an outlook message window with a predefined message and a few attachments. They should then be able to modify and add the required "To" etc before sending via outlook.
I am working on an outliner application. My application uses xml format to store data. I want to add fuctinonaly of attaching files to documents. To do this, I need to convert a file to string in order to save it in xml format. Then I am planning to read from xml file and build the file. How can I do this?? My solution didn�t work. I planned to read the file as binary. Convert it to byte array, save it as txt file, then read it from txt file and convert it to binary again. So I was planning to be able to get a txt file contains all the neccesay data to build the file. My

anyone had to open a csv file as an attachment on web before?
I have a process which creates file names based on GUIDs in a particular path, in order to guarantee uniqueness. These files are then attached as a file when sending mail via System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient. The problem is I want to somehow rename the attachment name as it will appear in the email, rather than displaying the GUID. Is there a way to specify what the resulting file attachment name will be on the fly? I can't rename the phsyical file because there could be a potential for duplicates.
im trying to create a code that will email an attachment from the computer to a designated email addresswhen it is run, then deletes the original file. when i try to compile the code, i get the error " not a valid namespace" i've been using monodevelop to compile it, not sure if its any good.

I'm providing a link button in my page (which contains a datagrid) so that when the user clicks on it they will be able to see the contents of the datagrid in a separate excel file. I provide the user with the option of attaching documents while they use my application. I would want that particular attachment to be embedded into excel document along with other contents. I don't want to specify the link(location) where the attachment is present.Instead I would need the attached document itself to be embedded into the excel file.

I am trying to send PDF file using itextsharp, the email sends fine but with out the pdf attachment.
Here is my code : Dim pdfFile As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream() Dim d As Document = New Document(PageSize.A4, 60, 60, 40, 40) Dim w As PdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(d, pdfFile) w.Open() w.Add(New Paragraph("do foo something ")) [Code] .....

I have a number of files that are generated in a function defined as:[code]These files are immediately printed and the files are automatically saved to a directory; the files themselves are not for use by the actual software users. I timestamp the files to keep them uniquely identified for auditing purposes.I've now received a requirement to email some of these files externally to the company, and someone has complained that the current filenames are not user-friendly.So, I tried copying the generated file to a temp directory, with a friendlier name, emailing the friendlier file, then deleting it, leaving my audit trail intact, like so: [code]This throws a System.IO.IOException on the line System. IO.File. Delete (friendly FilePath) because the file is still in use, after it has been emailed.I've taken out the email code, which makes the copying and deleting work fine, so it's apparently attaching the file to the email which causes the problem.I've also tried breakpointing before the delete line, waiting five minutes, confirming the email has been sent, then advancing the code, but the same exception is still thrown.
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 am trying to pass to a "SendEmail" class that I created an attachment from a stream.Here is my stream from the form: Private Sub button_Email_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button_Email.Click Dim myimagestream As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream() myimage.Save(myimagestream, Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) Dim se As New SendEmail [Code] ..... All seems to go fine until I get the email and try to open the attachment. The file is not readable but it's not a zero byte file.
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 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.
I want to show pictures on a PictureBox. Pictures are stored on an accdb database's field (that field's type is "attachment"). Below you can find more details.
i have an access 2007 database (accdb), it has only one table named "TbResimler".
I am currently working a piece of code which needs to send an attachment in the email it generates. The attachment is a PDF document. Due to requirements I am unable to save the PDF and send it, so I have had to create a memory stream attachment.
The issue I have with this is that the file size is _500KB. However save the file on my machine and it is around 370KB.
This increase in file size is unacceptable. has anyone come across this issue before? If so how have they got round the problem.
Below is the section of code.
Dim memStream As System.IO.MemoryStream = Nothing 'assign number to the PDF name Dim filename As String = req.GetAccountNumber()
I'm currently working on building a program that will take a MS Access database system produced by my company and create a VB.Net project with all the forms in it (obviously the code should be manually done, but to save time the forms and controls can be produced automatically).I have tried Googling and seem not to be able to find anything about this (which probably means I wasn't searching with the right keywords), I was wondering whether anyone knows any good resources on how to create the VB.Net project programmatically as I already know how to do all the access stuff.
How do i create a timer programatically, say, every time i hit a button. if i want each timer to stay running for an hour, would they have to be named different each time the button is pressed, since the previous timers would still be running.
