Send email with attachment from a specific url in C#

Question

In my view, users can search for a document and once they get the result, they can click on its id and they can download the document from specific url based on id: http://test.

Answer 1

If the PDF file is generated on an external site, you will need to download it in some way, for this you can use WebClient:

var client = new WebClient();

// Download the PDF file from external site (pdfUrl) 
// to your local file system (pdfLocalFileName)
client.DownloadFile(pdfUrl, pdfLocalFileName);  

Then you can use it on Attachment:

attachment = new Attachment(pdfLocalFileName, MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf);
msg.Attachments.Add(attachment)
