can you send the file as a attachment instead of copying the data and paste as a content?

yes

you need to send data by reading one by one file?

yes the files must be sorted
Iftikar Hussain13y ago
my understanding is you need to send mail with the content as body to particular email id. right?

Hi

Because there are large number of files in a directory. First I have to sort the files according to date and time and then send as email . I just want to make this process automatic by clinking on a single button. If this is possible with c# then please assist me on this project.

Thanks for your assistance .

why can't you send mail directly from your application instead of from outlook?

The code refferred by you is below:
How to link subject and body with that file.

void Inspectors_NewInspector(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Inspector Inspector)
{
Outlook.MailItem mailItem = Inspector.CurrentItem as Outlook.MailItem;
if (mailItem != null)
{
if (mailItem.EntryID == null)
{
mailItem.Subject = "This text was added by using code";
mailItem.Body = "This text was added by using code";
}

}
}

Thanks

it is possible. You need to create outlook Add-in project. Please refer the below link for creating outlook Add-in

you can read the content like this

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string filename = @"C:\Test\R49-4002.041";
using (var textFile = File.OpenText(filename))
{
string line;
while ((line = textFile.ReadLine()) != null)
{
textBox2.Text = textBox2.Text + line + Environment.NewLine;
}
}
MessageBox.Show("Done");
}
