send an e-mail with attachment from SharePoint

One of the ways to send an e-mail from SharePoint as developer, is to make use of the “SPUtility.SendEmail” classes. But unfortunately I did not find any possibility to include an attachment with the help of these classes.

I have used SPAdministrationWebApplication for used shaerpoint email credential and send email with attachement through system.net class.


using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities;
using System.Net.Mail;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;
using System.Net;


//Get the Sharepoint SMTP information from the SPAdministrationWebApplication
string smtpServer = SPAdministrationWebApplication.Local.OutboundMailServiceInstance.Server.Address;
string smtpFrom = SPAdministrationWebApplication.Local.OutboundMailSenderAddress;

//Create the mail message and supply it with from and to info
MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage(smtpFrom, smtpTo);

//Set the subject and body of the message
mailMessage.Subject = "Test";
mailMessage.Body = "test email .";

//Download the content of the file with a WebClient
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();


//Supply the WebClient with the network credentials of our user
webClient.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

//Download the byte array of the file
byte[] data = webClient.DownloadData(imagepath);

//Dump the byte array in a memory stream because
//we can write it to our attachment
MemoryStream memoryStreamOfFile = new MemoryStream(data);

//Add the attachment
//mailMessage.Attachments.Add(new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(memoryStreamOfFile, insert_filename_attachment, insert_content_type));
mailMessage.Attachments.Add(new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(memoryStreamOfFile, ImageName));
//, insert_content_type));


//Create the SMTP client object and send the message
SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient(smtpServer);
smtpClient.Host = "hostname";

//Delivery mothod which get attachement which size is more than 1 MB and immediately send email to user
smtpClient.Port = 2095;
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);



Hopy this stuff is useful for every developer.

Sharepoint Development: Object Model vs Web Services

When you've to develop a custom solution based on WSS/MOSS, I see that sometimes there are doubts on what technology to use in order to interop with the Sharepoint platform: should I use the Sharepoint Object Model APIs or should I use Sharepoint Web Services?

Use the Sharepoint Object Model if your code will be executed on a Sharepoint server farm machine. This is the best way if the final application will run on the Sharepoint server or if you're developing a Sharepoint WebPart.

To work with the Sharepoint Object Model, Right-click your Visual Studio project and add a reference to the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll located on the following directory:

C:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\isapi

If you're planning to develop a custom application that needs to interact with Sharepoint from a remote client, the best way is to use Sharepoint Web Services (the object model is not designed to support Remoting).

Using SPQuery to filter lists by User & Group Column

If you want to filter a list based on the value in the look up field that is of type ‘Person or Group’, We have to consider the following options:

• Filter by the User Name.
• Filter by SPUser ID Property
• Filter by Domain User account

Filter by the User Name:

By default the settings for the ‘Person or Group’ column will have the following settings.

The Show Field will have the “Name with Presence” selected.

When we run a SPQuery search on the list using the following code we will be able to filter the list based on the fullname of the user.

 using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite("http://moss:80"))

          {

              using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())

              {

                  oList = oWeb.Lists["Project Tasks"];

                  SPQuery query = new SPQuery();

                  query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' /><Value Type='User'>Tushar Parikh</Value></Eq></Where>";

                  SPListItemCollection items = oList.GetItems(query);



            }

         }

Filtering by SPUser ID :

If you want to filter the list based on the SPUser ID then follow the steps below.

• Add an additional attribute ‘LookupId’ for the queried field in your CAML query

<FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' LookupId='TRUE'/>

using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite("http://moss:80"))

           {

               using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())

              {

                  oList = oWeb.Lists["Project Tasks"];

                  SPQuery query = new SPQuery();

                  query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' LookupId='TRUE'/><Value Type='User'>7</Value></Eq></Where>";

                 SPListItemCollection items = oList.GetItems(query);

               }

         }

Filtering by Domain User Account :

If you want to filter the list based on the Domain User Account then follow the steps below.

• Change the ‘Show Field’ Settings of the Person or Group lookup column to ‘Account’

Modify your code to include the domain account in the filter value.

using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite("http://moss:80"))

{

using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())

{

oList = oWeb.Lists["Project Tasks"];

SPQuery query = new SPQuery();

query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='AssignedTo' /><Value Type='User'>komal\tparikh</Value></Eq></Where>";

SPListItemCollection items = oList.GetItems(query);

}

}
