send to fuction in Windows

[Kenneth_i]

Hi, I'm seeking a way to emulate "Send To" function. I just need to pass a file to .MAPIMail (it can pass a file to the default mua). .MAPIMail is normally located in C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\SendTo\ but doesn't have to use them. Simply prepare a file named like foo@test.local.MAPIMail (zero-byte) and drop a file with explorer. It'll attache the file to the default mua. If anyone knows about this, please let me know. I'm willing run the default e-mail client and a file attached. Thanks in advance.

I want Send To function for one of my C# projects too and in that time I couldn't find a .NET way for it, so I wrote a Shell Extension which do some task for my SEND TO function and register it with my application. But as I'm thinking now , those steps are doable in .NET too(not sure). This[^] article show you the VC6 way. If you couldn't translate it to .NET at least you can make that dll in VC6 which handle your job. Mazy No sig. available now.

Thanks Magy. So, it sounds like there is no way in C# and I at least need to import a dll.
