Set Email Attachment name in C#

Question

I add an attachment like this:

System.Net.Mail.Attachment attachment = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(AttachmentPath);   
msg.Attachments.Add(attachment);   


        

Answer 1

You need to load the attachment from a stream and then you can give it a name and a media type.

var fs = new FileStream("attachmentPath", FileMode.Open);
var attachment = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(fs, "MyAttachmentName.txt", "text/text");

Answer 2

How about:

System.Net.Mail.Attachment attachment = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(attachmentPath);
attachment.Name = "file.txt";  // set name here
msg.Attachments.Add(attachment);
