Implements

IDTSSendMailTask.FileAttachments

Remarks

You can either attach a static copy of a file when you create the task by specifying the file name in the FileAttachments property, or you can point to the ___location of a file by using a variable, a configuration, or a property expression to send a dynamically updated file at run time instead. This feature is useful for sending attachments such as log and exception files. You can include multiple attachments in a task by separating the file names with the pipe character (|).

Examples

The following code sample creates, configures, and executes a new SendMailTask that uses the FileAttachments property.
