Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

Initializes a new instance of the Attachment class.

Public Properties

ContentID	Gets or sets the Content-ID of the embedded attachment.
Name	Gets or sets the name of the attachment.

Public Methods

Load	Loads the attachment from a file or remote web site.

Remarks

It is not recommended to construct Attachment class instance directly. To add an attachment to email, please use SmtpMail.AddAttachment method, this method returns an Attachment class instance, ContentID and Name of the Attachment instance can be changed then.

To attach embedded images or pictures, SmtpMail.ImportHtmlBody and SmtpMail.ImportHtml methods are strongly recommended.
