Attach binary data to Email attachment

0

I am trying to attach a binary data retrieved from SQL server to an email as attachment using VB.net in the office addin.

I am able to add attachment if I specified the file path and file name, but not with binary data, below is my sample code:

Dim ms as System.IO.MemoryStream
'binaryData is retrieved from SQL server
'binaryData is a docx file stored in SQL server
ms = New System.IO.MemoryStream(binaryData)  

Dim att as New System.Net.Mail.Attachment(ms, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Text.Plain)

mailItem.Attachments.Add(ms)  'mailItemm is Microsoft.Office.Interio.Outlook.MailItem

I'm getting error

COMException was unhandled by user code
Member not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020003 (DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND))

I am using:

Visual Studio 2010
.Net 4.0
Microsoft Outlook 2010

Thanks.

It looks like you are trying to attach a memory stream and not the attachment you just created. Try changing this line:

mailItem.Attachments.Add(ms) 

to this:

mailItem.Attachments.Add(att)

At the end, I saved the binary data to a file in users temp folder, then attached the file, then delete the file from the temp folder, it is simpler that way. Thanks.
