Programmatically send e-mail

[Fabio Pagano]

In the viewer is present a button "Send e-mail", that creates an e-mail with the choosen attachment type. How can i do this by code? Do you expose a method, something like "CreateMailWithPdfAttachment"?

Thanks.

Ok, i think i have found the classes:
Stimulsoft.Report.Export.MAPI
Stimulsoft.Report.Export.MapiMessage
Stimulsoft.Report.Export.MapiFileDesc

but i haven't found how to do this task: i have a serialized report that i need to export as a pdf and then attach it to an email presetting the recipients, the subject and the body, without making appear the email client interface.

I know how to export to pdf, i don't know how to attach the pdf to an email using your MAPI class.

Thanks.

Hi Fabio,
Maybe the following thread may be of some help:

It doesn't seem to help, because i have to do this programmatically, without viewer and user interaction.

Thanks.

You can use following way:

1. You need create pdf file for attaching to email message. Use method report.ExportDocument. For example:

Code: Select all

string file = "report.pdf";
report.ExportDocument(file);

2. You need use MailMessage object. For example:

Code: Select all

MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.domain.com";
message.Priority = MailPriority.High;

message.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", "1");
message.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", "email@domain.com");
message.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", "mypassword");

Attachment data = new Attachment(file, MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet);
message.Attachments.Add(data);

SmtpMail.Send(message);

Your solution doesn't consider the use of the default email client: i need to save in it the emails sent.

What i wanted to do was to create an email in the default email client, just like you do when in the viewer the user presses "Send email" button, but without opening the email client interface.

To simulate what the viewer does when the user presses "Send email" i could already use the method:

Stimulsoft.Report.Export.MAPI.SendEMail

This method has the following parameters:
"Subject"
"Body"
"FilePath"

I think that this method should have these other parameters:

"Recipient"
"Cc"
"Bcc"
"ShowComposer"

The ShowComposer method instructs if the user interface must appear or not.

The limitation would be that a single file would be allowed as an attachment, just like now (you may think to accept file names separated by ";").

May you do something for this suggestion?

Thanks.

Sorry, but we can not to enhance ability of our engine in that direction. In that case you should to use the Simple MAPI in your Application. As a base for that you may use use our MAPI class. We can send it for you if necessary.

Thank you.

[Fabio Pagano]

Yes, send it to me, thanks.
