Your question is not clear.

What you want? do you want to send Attachment directly from mails to web service ?

Member 10872485 8-Jul-14 9:13am

I want to parse the mail (subject, body, attachments ...) and send attechments to a web service in C#.
The final mission is to send attachments from the web service to another web application.

Which Client you are using ?

Member 10872485 8-Jul-14 9:29am

The client is an add in C# for Outlook, I parse an email selected and I take their attachments !

In your link, I need to know the <root>:\\DocumentDirectory\\ directory path on the server (Web Service), So can you tell me how to know the directory path on my IIS server in my PC, and if I want to send file (FILE attachments) from a web service to a web application in php, what can I do ?

Suvabrata Roy 18-Jul-14 1:13am

Dirctory Path from IIS : Server.MapPath (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524632(v=vs.90).aspx)
You need to consume web service from PHP : http://php.net/manual/en/sca.examples.understanding-wsdl.php

Member 10872485 18-Jul-14 2:28am

Excuse me, but I mean to get the path on my IIS server in my pc, I use Visual Studio 2010.
And I dont need to consume web service from php, I develop a plug-in ic C# for Outlook 2010, this plug-in is referenced to a web service, firstly, I transferred POST data from my web service to the web application (in PHP), because the web application is programmed to accept POST data to do such work, and now I want to sand a attachments from my plug-in to the web application the my web service referenced so I don't mean to consume my web service from php.
Thank you :)

Suvabrata Roy 18-Jul-14 2:32am

Please specify what you want? I am bit confused.

Member 10872485 18-Jul-14 2:43am

I rephrase my question, if I want to send attachments files from C# application (plug-in or otherwise) to a php web application through a web service, provided that the web application accepts attachments files as FILE data, how can I do it ???

Member 10872485 18-Jul-14 5:11am

You don't have an idea how to do that ?

Suvabrata Roy 18-Jul-14 7:37am

Attachments ? multiple files rite
From your Web application to PHP application ?
You want to send it via POST Method ? (basically file always transfer using POST method)
So where Outlook plug in involvement ?

Member 10872485 18-Jul-14 7:50am

My outlook plug-in is my desktop application wish I took a mail selected, this mail is composed of a subject, body, attachments etc. ... I want to take his attachments and send them to a web application in PHP via a web service in C#. So a web application in php accept FILE data.
So attachments will be transferred to the web service in c# and web service transfer this attachments to the web application in php.

Suvabrata Roy 18-Jul-14 8:53am

"web application in PHP via a web service in C#"

So you mean to say PHP web application will consume data from C# web service and your outlook will send data to that web service.

Or the other way

You will send data to PHP web app and that app will send file to C# web service.

Member 10872485 18-Jul-14 9:12am

yes, I mean it, among the data to be sent to the web application in php from web service in c#, there are attachments files.

Member 10872485 20-Jul-14 9:21am

So can you give me any idea please ?

Now first build a PHP web api and another web service to post file in WCF or web service
as you required I have produce both example like WCF or web service > PHP and PHP > WCF or web service

Enjoy...

Member 10872485 21-Jul-14 6:01am

Thank you for the explanation, but it is a step that I'm missing, so after uploade attachments to my web service, based on this link "http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/scottlysle/UploadwithCSharpWS05032007121259PM/UploadwithCSharpWS.aspx", I want to send its attachments to a Web application in php that data being FILE ($ _FILE).

The other links on the WCF and API in php not suitable with my case.

I remind you that I am working in C #.

Really thank you very much, it's been that I ask you.

Suvabrata Roy 21-Jul-14 6:20am

I have refer you links just because provide you some concept with code and I was bit confused which one you required WCF to PHP or PHP to WCF so I provide both.

Any way If you have been benefited by me Its my pleasure.

Member 10872485 21-Jul-14 6:41am

Excuse me, but it is a step that I'm missing, so after upload attachments to my web service, so now, I'm halfway to reach my work. Then I want to send them to a web application in php. (that data being FILE ($ _FILE))

Do you have a method for this ?

Thank you in advanced :)
