I wanted to give users an ability to send multiple attachments from the web application. I did not want anything fancy, just a few FileUpload controls on the page and then send the email. So I dropped five FileUpload controls on the web page and created a function to send email with multiple attachments.

Here’s the code:

public static void SendMail(string fromAddress, string toAddress, string subject, string body, HttpFileCollection fileCollection)

    {

        // CREATE THE MailMessage OBJECT

        MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

 

        // SET ADDRESSES

        mail.From = new MailAddress(fromAddress);

        mail.To.Add(toAddress);

 

        // SET CONTENT

        mail.Subject = subject;

        mail.Body = body;

        mail.IsBodyHtml = false;

              

        // ATTACH FILES FROM HttpFileCollection

        for (int i = 0; i < fileCollection.Count; i++)

        {

            HttpPostedFile file = fileCollection[i];

            if (file.ContentLength > 0)

            {

                Attachment attachment = new Attachment(file.InputStream, Path.GetFileName(file.FileName));

                mail.Attachments.Add(attachment);

            }

        }

 

        // SEND MESSAGE

        SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1");

        smtp.Send(mail);

    }

And here’s how you call the method:

protected void uxSendMail_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        HttpFileCollection fileCollection = Request.Files;

        string fromAddress = "[email protected]";

        string toAddress = "[email protected]";

        string subject = "Multiple Mail Attachment Test";

        string body = "Mail Attachments Included";

        HelperClass.SendMail(fromAddress, toAddress, subject, body, fileCollection);       

    }
