Send Email - Attach files from File Explorer
I'm attempting to send an email with an attachment from a file stored in File Explorer. What does my file path look like if the file is saved in File Explorer->Application Database->Documents ->Public?
Regards,
Anusha
Anusha_MP Files in the application database filesystem are stored in a table and accessible via the BRApi FileSystem object. As such, 'folder path' is more of an attribute than a real path to the file somewhere:
VB
Dim fileFullName As String = "EmailAttachment.png" Dim failGracefully As Boolean = True Dim includeContentFileBytes As Boolean = True Dim objXFFileEx As XFFileEx = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFile(si, FileSystemLocation.ApplicationDatabase, fileFullName, includeContentFileBytes, failGracefully) Dim folderName As String = objXFFileEx.XFFile.FileInfo.FolderFullName 'Just an attribute Dim bytes As Byte() = objXFFileEx.XFFile.ContentFileBytes Dim att As Attachment = New Attachment(New MemoryStream(bytes), fileFullName) Dim attachments As List(Of Attachment) = New List(Of Attachment)() From { att }
C#
string fileFullName = "EmailAttachment.png"; bool failGracefully = true; bool includeContentFileBytes = true; XFFileEx objXFFileEx = BRApi.FileSystem.GetFile(si, FileSystemLocation.ApplicationDatabase, fileFullName, includeContentFileBytes, failGracefully); String folderName = objXFFileEx.XFFile.FileInfo.FolderFullName; // Just an attribute Byte[] bytes = objXFFileEx.XFFile.ContentFileBytes; Attachment att = new Attachment(new MemoryStream(bytes), fileFullName); List<Attachment> attachments = new List<Attachment>(){att};
