Create a Multipart-Mixed MIME Message

See more MIME Examples

Creates a multipart-mixed MIME message with the 1st part containing plain-text, and the 2nd part containing a GIF image. C#

bool success = false;

//  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();

//  Initialize a multipart-mixed MIME message:
success = mime.NewMultipartMixed();

//  Each sub-part will be prepared, then added to the 
//  top-level multipart/mixed MIME object, and then written
//  to a file.

//  First the plain-text sub-part
//  Add a few header fields:
Chilkat.Mime textPart = new Chilkat.Mime();
success = textPart.AddHeaderField("Description","this is a test");
success = textPart.AddHeaderField("MyId","123");
success = textPart.SetBodyFromPlainText("This is the plain-text body");

//  Now for a GIF image:
Chilkat.Mime imagePart = new Chilkat.Mime();
success = imagePart.SetBodyFromFile("starfish.gif");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imagePart.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Append each sub-part to the top-level MIME object:
success = mime.AppendPart(textPart);
success = mime.AppendPart(imagePart);

//  Write the full multipart-mixed MIME to a file.
success = mime.SaveMime("out.mim");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());

//  The MIME should look something like this:
//  (See more comments following this sample output...)

//  Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
//   boundary="------------080503030004040303020208";
