I need to send a vcal file via email. I want to send the file without creating it on disk.
I have the file in string format.
Here's what I think you are looking for in C#
System.IO.StringReader stream = new System.IO.StringReader("xyz");
Attachment attach = new Attachment(stream);
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.Attachments.Add(attach);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Send(msg);
"xyz" should be replaced with the string of the attachment. The code above will allow you to add an attachment to a MailMessage object without ever having to retrieve that object's data from disk, which is what I think you meant instead of 'memory'.
Probably the best you can do (if you're using a graphical email program) is just save the .vcal file to a temporary directory, then pass that path to the mail program.
You can generate temporary filenames with functions like mktemp.
I'm not sure what you mean by not 'creating it memory'. Operating systems work by reading any file from disk into in-memory buffers. So, chances are that the file will still reside in memory at some point. Furthermore, when you pass the file over to the programme or tool that will dispatch it, it will also pass through some memory buffer.

I am trying to create a program to automatically download the attached files that are sent to us from a certain email and then transform the delimiter with SAS, of those csv that are attached to us and pass those csv through a flow that I have already created.
I have managed to create a program that treats the csv as I want and the delimiter that I want, the problem is that when it comes to automating the download of files from Outlook it does not work.
What I have done is create a rule with the following VB code that I found on the internet:
Public Sub SaveAttachmentsToDisk(MItem As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim sSaveFolder As String
sSaveFolder = "C:\Users\ES010246\Desktop"
For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments
oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & oAttachment.DisplayName
Next
End Sub
I have changed the path to my personal path where i want the files are downloaded.
website: https://es.extendoffice.com/documents/outlook/3747-outlook
The problem is that this code does not work for me, it does absolutely nothing for me and no matter how much I search the internet, only this code appears.
Is there any other way to do with SAS what I want? What is it to automatically download 8 csv files sent to me by Outlook, or has someone experienced the same thing as me with VBA?
I have followed all the steps about 7 times so I think the error is not in copying the code or selecting certain options wrong, in fact I had copied and pasted the code and later I modified the path where I wanted those to be saved. files but it doesn't work, does anyone know why?
I will be tremendously grateful, thank you very much for everything!
First of all, you need to make sure the file name and path doesn't include forbidden symbols.
The VBA macro used for a rule in Outlook is absolutely valid except that a mail item may contain the attached files with the same name, so a file saved to the disk may be overwritten (saved with the same name). That's why I'd suggest generating a file name with your own unique IDs making sure that DisplayName property is not empty and has a valid name what can be used for file names (exclude forbidden symbols).
Also you may consider handling the NewMailEx event of the Application class which is fired when a new message arrives in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. Use the Entry ID returned in the EntryIDCollection string to call the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method and process the item. This event fires once for every received item that is processed by Microsoft Outlook. The item can be one of several different item types, for example, MailItem, MeetingItem, or SharingItem.
The Items.ItemAdd event can be helpful when items are moved to a folder (from Inbox). This event does not run when a large number of items are added to the folder at once.
Due to the fact that I have to create a PDF on my server using the uniqid() function, I must subsequently refer to it as a PHP variable in the rest of my code.
The variable that I create for it is a session variable. I later refer to this session variable in a separate file, which contains my PHPmailer code. I use the following line to attach the session variable to the mail:
$mail->AddStringAttachment($_SESSION[$attachment], "attachment.pdf");
The mail is sent correctly with a PDF attached, called attachment.pdf. However, this attached file, attachment.pdf, is empty. This is despite the fact that the PDF on the server, which the session variable refers to, contains the complete set of data. If I attach the name of the PDF, instead of the session variable, it works correctly.
I don't know why the use of a session variable when attaching the PDF is resulting in an empty file being sent. If anybody may be able to explain why this is happening, or suggest an alternative solution, I would greatly appreciate it!
I'm guessing that $_SESSION[$attachment] contains the name of your generated PDF file, so what you are doing here is attaching the name of the file as an attachment, rather than the file itself. You should probably be using this instead:
$mail->AddAttachment($_SESSION[$attachment], "attachment.pdf");
I have developed an SSIS package to create ZIP file in the particular location.I'm able to send email attachment of the ZIP file.Now, I wanted to do following:
If my file size is less then 1MB then send email with attachment; Else, send only email notification(no attachment).I wanted to make this configurable also.
So, I wanted to know, is there any way in SSIS, to check for the file size and do the necessary action??
You need an SSIS Variable to help in this endeavor. At a minimum, you would want a Boolean, call it IncludeAttachment.
After your Execute Process Task, or however you are creating the zip, you will need to run a Script Task that will take the path to that newly created zip and optionally, another variable which contains your threshold (today it's 1MB but tomorrow it's 5).
Inside your script task, you're going to use the Length property of FileInfo
FileInfo f = new FileInfo(pathToZip);
if (f.Length > thresholdValue)
{
Variables["IncludeAttachment"].Value = false;
}
else
{
Variables["IncludeAttachment"].Value = true;
}
How can i open a file directly from stream which is exported through crystal report export to stream function? I am using vs2010 and sap crystal report.
MemoryStream m = (MemoryStream)(PReport.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat));
FileStream f = new FileStream(purchaseCombo.SelectedItem.ToString(),FileMode.Create,System.IO.FileAccess.Write);
byte[] bytes = new byte[m.Length];
m.Read(bytes, 0, (int)m.Length);
f.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
f.Close();
m.Close();
It depends on the file that you are exporting. Since Crystal Reports can export a number of different file types and each of them has a specific program that can handle it, you will need to search for the exact file type that you're interested. For example with a quick search on the internet, I found that a stream of an html file can be directly previewed inside a WebBrowser component (in a WPF app) by using the NavigateToStream method. Maybe there are some 3rd party components that expose methods for directly opening files from memory.
Though, the easiest way would be to export a temporary file to disk instead of memory by using the ExportToDisk method and delete it after its usage, since many components read from paths rather than memory. Before exporting the file, you can use the GetTempFileName method which creates and names a temporary file.
Hello I have a crystalReportViewer and CrystalReportSource on a web form.
I need to be able to bind the reportSource at run time to different report files.
I have the file data stored in a blob in a DB.
The mechanism I am using now is to save the blob to a file and then
this.CrystalReportSource1.Report.FileName = myFileName;
The issue is that I want to avoid saving the file on disk and somehow bind the report directly to a file stream.
Is that possible?
Thanks
In C#, I believe that you should be able to use something like the following, but I haven't tested it out on my system.
ReportDocument rpt = new ReportDocument();
rpt.Load(filestream); //filestream is your filestream object
Give it a try and let me know if you have issues.
