Getting System.Net.Mail.MailMessage as a MemoryStream in .NET 4.5 beta
This might be usable if you don't want to go with unsupported hacks and don't mind extra performance hit.
public static class MailMessageExtensions
{
public static string RawMessage(this MailMessage m)
{
var smtpClient = new SmtpClient { DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.SpecifiedPickupDirectory };
using (var tempDir = new TemporaryDirectory())
{
smtpClient.PickupDirectoryLocation = tempDir.DirectoryPath;
smtpClient.Send( m );
var emlFile = Directory.GetFiles( smtpClient.PickupDirectoryLocation ).FirstOrDefault();
if ( emlFile != null )
{
return File.ReadAllText( emlFile );
}
else
return null;
}
return null;
}
}
class TemporaryDirectory : IDisposable
{
public TemporaryDirectory()
{
DirectoryPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), Path.GetRandomFileName());
Directory.CreateDirectory( DirectoryPath );
}
public string DirectoryPath { get; private set; }
public void Dispose()
{
if ( Directory.Exists( DirectoryPath ) )
Directory.Delete( DirectoryPath, true );
}
}
Managed to figure out how to get this working again in .NET 4.5 beta. The private API Send() method in MailMessage has changed to: internal void Send(BaseWriter writer, bool sendEnvelope, bool allowUnicode)
Please find updated code below.
Assembly assembly = typeof(SmtpClient).Assembly;
Type mailWriterType = assembly.GetType("System.Net.Mail.MailWriter");
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
ConstructorInfo mailWriterContructor = mailWriterType.GetConstructor(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic, null, new[] { typeof(Stream) }, null);
object mailWriter = mailWriterContructor.Invoke(new object[] { stream });
MethodInfo sendMethod = typeof(MailMessage).GetMethod("Send", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
sendMethod.Invoke(message, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic, null, new[] { mailWriter, true, true }, null);
.....
}
