Examples

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface instance.

The following static UploadAttachment method shows how to create an attachment with a file using the InitializeAttachmentBlocksUploadRequest, UploadBlockRequest, and CommitAttachmentBlocksUploadRequest classes to return a CommitAttachmentBlocksUploadResponse with ActivityMimeAttachmentId and FileSizeInBytes properties.

static CommitAttachmentBlocksUploadResponse UploadAttachment(
      IOrganizationService service,
      Entity attachment,
      FileInfo fileInfo,
      string fileMimeType = null)
{
      if (attachment.LogicalName != "activitymimeattachment")
      {
         throw new ArgumentException(
            "The attachment parameter must be an activitymimeattachment entity.",
            nameof(attachment));
      }

      // body value in activitymimeattachment not needed. Remove if found.
      if (attachment.Contains("body"))
      {
         attachment.Attributes.Remove("body");
      }

      // Try to get the mimetype if not provided.
      if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fileMimeType))
      {
         var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();

         if (!provider.TryGetContentType(fileInfo.Name, out fileMimeType))
         {
            fileMimeType = "application/octet-stream";
         }
      }
      // Don't overwrite mimetype value if it exists
      if (!attachment.Contains("mimetype"))
      {
         attachment["mimetype"] = fileMimeType;
      }

      // Initialize the upload
      InitializeAttachmentBlocksUploadRequest initializeRequest = new()
      {
         Target = attachment
      };

      var initializeResponse =
            (InitializeAttachmentBlocksUploadResponse)service.Execute(initializeRequest);

      string fileContinuationToken = initializeResponse.FileContinuationToken;

      // Capture blockids while uploading
      List<string> blockIds = new();

      using Stream uploadFileStream = fileInfo.OpenRead();

      int blockSize = 4 * 1024 * 1024; // 4 MB

      byte[] buffer = new byte[blockSize];
      int bytesRead = 0;

      long fileSize = fileInfo.Length;

      // The number of iterations that will be required:
      // int blocksCount = (int)Math.Ceiling(fileSize / (float)blockSize);
      int blockNumber = 0;

      // While there is unread data from the file
      while ((bytesRead = uploadFileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
      {
         // The file or final block may be smaller than 4MB
         if (bytesRead < buffer.Length)
         {
            Array.Resize(ref buffer, bytesRead);
         }

         blockNumber++;

         string blockId = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Guid.NewGuid().ToString()));

         blockIds.Add(blockId);

         // Prepare the request
         UploadBlockRequest uploadBlockRequest = new()
         {
            BlockData = buffer,
            BlockId = blockId,
            FileContinuationToken = fileContinuationToken,
         };

         // Send the request
         service.Execute(uploadBlockRequest);
      }

      // Commit the upload
      CommitAttachmentBlocksUploadRequest commitRequest = new()
      {
         BlockList = blockIds.ToArray(),
         FileContinuationToken = fileContinuationToken,
         Target = attachment
      };

      return (CommitAttachmentBlocksUploadResponse)service.Execute(commitRequest);

}

This example method includes some logic to try to get the MIME type of the file using the FileExtensionContentTypeProvider.TryGetContentType(String, String) method if it isn't provided. If the type isn't found, it's set to application/octet-stream.

Remarks

This request results in the uploaded data blocks being combined into a single attachment.
