I've asked a couple of questions here but am still having issues. I'd appreciate if you could tell me what I am doing wrong in my code. I run the code above from a ASP.Net page and get "Cannot Access a Closed Stream".
var doc = new Document();
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, memoryStream);
doc.Open();
doc.Add(new Paragraph("First Paragraph"));
doc.Add(new Paragraph("Second Paragraph"));
doc.Close(); //if I remove this line the email attachment is sent but with 0 bytes
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage("[email protected]", "[email protected]")
{
Subject = "subject",
IsBodyHtml = true,
Body = "body"
};
mm.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(memoryStream, "test.pdf"));
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
Port = 587,
EnableSsl = true,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "my_password")
};
smtp.Send(mm); //the "Cannot Access a Closed Stream" error is thrown here
Thanks!!!
EDIT:
Just to help somebody looking for the answer to this question, the code to send a pdf file attached to an email without having to physically create the file is below (thanks to Ichiban and Brianng):
var doc = new Document();
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, memoryStream);
doc.Open();
doc.Add(new Paragraph("First Paragraph"));
doc.Add(new Paragraph("Second Paragraph"));
writer.CloseStream = false;
doc.Close();
memoryStream.Position = 0;
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage("[email protected]", "[email protected]")
{
Subject = "subject",
IsBodyHtml = true,
Body = "body"
};
mm.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(memoryStream, "filename.pdf"));
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = "smtp.gmail.com",
Port = 587,
EnableSsl = true,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "password")
};
smtp.Send(mm);
