How do I use file upload control for attaching file for email in asp.net?
currently I am using the hard-coded path to send attachments which is :

VB

Dim MyAttachment As Attachment = New Attachment("C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\EAIPJ(Coloré-Rachel,Peiwen,Sherry,Fiona)\Coloré\Images\BLACK SHATTER.jpg")
            mail.Attachments.Add(MyAttachment)

I want to change it to be able to use file upload control to select the path of the file. How do I do that?

Urgent help is needed

It gives an error after I add in the code. Here is my code

Protected Sub SendMail_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SendMail.Click

Try
Dim SmtpServer As New SmtpClient()
Dim mail As New MailMessage()
SmtpServer.Credentials = New _
Net.NetworkCredential("fionatan06@gmail.com", "bananaboat")
SmtpServer.Port = 587
SmtpServer.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = True
mail = New MailMessage()
mail.From = New MailAddress("fionatan06@gmail.com")
mail.To.Add(TextBox2.Text)
mail.Subject = TextBox3.Text
mail.IsBodyHtml = True
mail.Body = TextBox4.Text + " This is an auto-generated message. Please do not reply. Thank you. Colore"

string fileName = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload.PostedFile.FileName);
Attachment myAttachment = new Attachment(FileUpload.FileContent, fileName);
myMailMessage.Attachments.Add(myAttachment);
SmtpServer.Send(mail)
MsgBox("Mail Send")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try

End Sub

What error?

Fiona Tan 7-Jun-12 14:54pm

is it because i didn't add in this code ?

if (FileUpload1.HasFile)
{

all the attachment codes are underlined as blue, they never really say what error is that. just said that it is not declared and so.

Try this:

VB

Dim MyAttachment As Attachment = New Attachment(fileupload1.PostedFile.FileName)
mail.Attachments.Add(MyAttachment)

And also make sure that your upload control is not inside update panel.
