Send an email with the application from the WinForms application?

Question

I am currently using Process.Start to send simple emails from my WinForms application. Can you come up with some way to add a file attachment to an email? (Edit: using Process.Start?)

Here is what I am using now:

Process.Start("mailto:[e-mail]?subject=" + HttpUtility.HtmlAttributeEncode("Application error report") + "&body=" + body);

Answer 1

Try something like this →

MailMessage theMailMessage = new MailMessage("[e-mail]", "[e-mail]");
theMailMessage.Body = "body email message here";
theMailMessage.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("pathToEmailAttachment"));
theMailMessage.Subject = "Subject here";

SmtpClient theClient = new SmtpClient("IP.Address.Of.Smtp");
theClient.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
System.Net.NetworkCredential theCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("[e-mail]", "password");
theClient.Credentials = theCredential;
theClient.Send(theMailMessage);

Well, based on your edit and additional information, I found this blog post by Jon Galloway , "Sending files via the default mail client . "
