How to send an email with attachment from worker role using c#.net?

Question

I am trying to send an email with an attachment (attachment should get downloaded from blob storage) from worker role using c#.net.

I am able to send an email without attachment, but when I am trying with attachment the I am receiving blank attachment.

What I am trying here is that I am uploading .doc file in blob storage and in worker role trying to send that .doc file as a attachment in email.

Please find the below function which I am calling from worker role.

 

 

 

public void sendMail(string blobName)

        {

InitStorage();//Initialize the storage

                var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.FromConfigurationSetting("DataConnectionString");

                container = blobStorage.GetContainerReference("Container Name");

                CloudBlockBlob blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(blobName);

 

                if (File.Exists("demo.doc"))

                    File.Delete("demo.doc");

 

                FileStream fs = new FileStream("demo.doc", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);

                blob.DownloadToStream(fs);

 

Attachment attach = new Attachment(fs,"Report.doc");

 

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage Email = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("[e-mail]", "[e-mail]");

                Email.Subject = "Text fax send via email";

Email.Subject = "Subject Of email";

                Email.Attachments.Add(attach);

                Email.Body = "Body of email";

                System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.live.com", 25);

                client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;

                client.EnableSsl = true;

                client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[e-mail]", "Password");

                client.Send(Email);

                fs.Flush();

                fs.Close();

                Email.Dispose();                        

        }

 

Please tell the solution for above scenario. How should I send an email with an attachment from worker role? 

 

Thanks in advance

See my answer on your StackOverflow question.

Answer 2

Could you post the link to that question on SO.

Answer 3

Got the solution...

byte[] file= blob.DownloadByteArray();

 Attachment attach = new Attachment(new MemoryStream(file), "Report.doc");

 

Instead of using FileStream used Byte array and MemoryStream and its working fine.

Thanks for your replies.
