C # Outlook 2007 - How to access attachment content directly from my upload?

Question

I am trying to parse text file attachments (txt, doc, etc.). However, I apparently cannot get to the binary information itself. I can get the file name, and I can save the file in some temporary folder and open it from there, but it seems messy.

Is there a way to access the contents of the attachment without saving it, reading it and then deleting it, or am I just chasing my tail?

Answer 1

Redemption will help you here in the SafeMailItem.Attachments collection there is an Attachment object that has the property "AsText" to check

Microsoft -

   private void GetAttachmentContent(Attachments attachments)
    {
        foreach (Attachment attachment in attachments)
        {
            //microsoft schema to get the attachment content
            string AttachSchema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x37010102";
            byte[] filebyte = (byte[])attachment.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty(AttachSchema);
        }
    }
