Dear Experts,

I have a situation where I need to send the Email to customers using the web service.
I have the details of the customers(i.e. Email ID, Message, Attachmentfilepath etc.) stored in database table,
I could send the mail with attachment, but attachment is not in the format what i sent, it is coming like ATT0007.dat format.
The code is as follows:

BLL objBAL=new BLL();
var list = new List<DTO>();
list = objBAL.getEmailDetails();
foreach (DTO d in list)
{
LinkedResource receiptpath = new LinkedResource(@"C:\Documents and Settings\vp63\Desktop\new.pdf");//Here i have used a static file path rather than using from DB
AlternateView view = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(d.Message, null, "text/plain");
receiptpath.ContentId = "InstitutionLogo";
view.LinkedResources.Add(receiptpath);
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.AlternateViews.Add(view);
msg.Subject = "Mail";
// msg.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(@"C:\Documents and Settings\vp63\Desktop\logo.PNG"));
//string filename = @"C:\Documents and Settings\vp63\Desktop\new.pdf";
//File file = new File(filename);
//string[] mail = d.NotifiedTo.Split(',');
//for (int index = 0; index <= mail.Length; index++)
//{
// msg.To.Add(new MailAddress(mail[index]));
//}
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("vijayenderreddy.pailla@gpinfotech.com"));
SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient();
sc.Send(msg);

Help is Appreciated.

thanks in advance

0	you can try with following code string fileName = @"C:\Documents and Settings\vp63\Desktop\new.pdf"; Attachment data = new Attachment(filename,getMIMEType(fileName); ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition; disposition.FileName = Path.GetFileName(files[i]); mailMessage.Attachments.Add(data); private static string GetMimeType(string fileName) { string mimeType = "application/unknown"; try { string extension = Path.GetExtension(fileName); if (extension != null) { string ext = extension.ToLower(); RegistryKey regKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(ext); if (regKey != null && regKey.GetValue("Content Type") != null) mimeType = regKey.GetValue("Content Type").ToString(); } } catch (Exception ex) { // log exception } return mimeType; } Rajesh Patel R.P.A Developer \| Developer Trainer \| Clean Code Evangelist Vijayenderpailla, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

you can try with following code
string fileName = @"C:\Documents and Settings\vp63\Desktop\new.pdf";

Attachment data = new Attachment(filename,getMIMEType(fileName);
ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition;
disposition.FileName = Path.GetFileName(files[i]);
mailMessage.Attachments.Add(data);

private static string GetMimeType(string fileName)
{
string mimeType = "application/unknown";
try
{
string extension = Path.GetExtension(fileName);

if (extension != null)
{
string ext = extension.ToLower();
RegistryKey regKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(ext);
if (regKey != null && regKey.GetValue("Content Type") != null)
mimeType = regKey.GetValue("Content Type").ToString();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// log exception
}

return mimeType;
}
