I want to sent a generated PDF document as an email attachment.

I do recieve an email with PDF attachment, but its size is 0 bytes!
Why?

Below my code:

Dim att As New System.Net.Mail.Attachment(getfile, "MY_ATTACHMENT.pdf", "application/pdf")
'The returned stream fro getfile is not empty, but somehow the attachment of the email is...
'Even when I check the att variable it holds the same size as the stream!
Msg.Attachments.Add(att)

Msg.Body = MailContent
Try
mailObj.Send(Msg)
Catch ex As Exception
End Try


Protected Function getfile() As MemoryStream
Dim document As PdfDocument = New PdfDocument
'removed lines where document is filled

Dim stream As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream

If document.PageCount > 0 Then 'pagecount = 1
document.Save(stream, False) 'STREAM actually holds a value since its capacity is now 73520 bytes and its length is now 39308 bytes
Return stream
End If
End Function

Thanks!

Hi,

I didn’t try to save the document trough stream, but if you continue stuck in that, you could save the document as a file and attach it to e-mail trough path to file.

I don't know for sure (you don't mention which version you have); and I never tried to e-mail attachments.

You can create a new MemoryStream from the byte[] returned by "stream.ToArray());" and try that stream - capacity and length should then be the same.
