reposted: attach an excel fiel to an email

[michael_jhons]

hello everybody, i have a datatable wich i want it to be attached in an email as excel(.xls) in order to do that: 1. i'm exporting the datatable into an excel file. 2. i'm saving it in a specific folder. 3. i'm attaching it. is there any way to directly attach the datatable to an email as excel file directly without exporting and saving or at lest not saving because it's working on a server an i don't want to use its space kind regards

Not that I can think of. An attachment has to be a physical file rather than an abstraction in memory, unless you write the data into the body of the email (rather a silly solution actually). Why not clean up the attachment file after it has been sent? You could even clean out the attachment folder prior to sending the next email or have a job that periodically cleans the attachments, there are many options here.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
