hi mate.

Try this

Dim fileatt As New Attachment(filePath) 

fileatt .TransferEncoding = System.Net.Mime.TransferEncoding.SevenBit 

message.Attachments.Add(fileatt ) 

client.Send(msg)

good luck

You must use the File Upload Control, not a textbox. The file then gets uploaded as part of the request, so you need to look at filecontrol.PostedFile is not null. Then process the stream (save to disk) and then attach it.

hi

karthikeyan: I used ur code with file upload like this: 
 
 Dim fileatt As New Attachment(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName.ToString)
 
        fileatt.TransferEncoding = System.Net.Mime.TransferEncoding.SevenBit
 
        msg.Attachments.Add(fileatt)

it does sent the file, i tried with an gif image it sent it, but when i open i i'm not able to see the pic, it says dwg faild. What should be the problem?

thx

My guess is that you sent a 0 byte file. Did you check to see if PostedFile existed? What does your form look like? What does all of your code look like?

[met0555]

well, it works perfect with a txt file.
Do i need to type some other code for posted file?
i just put the uploadfile box then on the code i wrote, the code on my last post

ok, but i think , it's because it use the media type, octet-stream? is it correct?

[met0555]

i found the problem, the code should be

fileatt.TransferEncoding = System.Net.Mime.TransferEncoding.QuotedPrintable

thx

[mendhak]

When it wasn't working, you said that it worked only for .txt files but not other file extensions. What was happening in those cases?

[met0555]

well, the problem was SevenBit only accepted txt files only. But QuotedPrintable accept any printable things
