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 UploadNote method shows how to create an attachment with a file using the InitializeAnnotationBlocksUploadRequest, UploadBlockRequest, and CommitAnnotationBlocksUploadRequest classes to return a CommitAnnotationBlocksUploadResponse with ActivityMimeAttachmentId and FileSizeInBytes properties.

   IOrganizationService service,

   if (annotation.LogicalName != "annotation")
   {
         throw new ArgumentException(
            message: "The annotation parameter must be an annotation entity",
            paramName: nameof(annotation));
   }

            paramName: nameof(annotation));
   }

   // documentbody value in annotation not needed. Remove if found.
   if (annotation.Contains("documentbody"))
   {
         annotation.Attributes.Remove("documentbody");
   }

   // 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 override what might be included in the annotation.
   if (!annotation.Contains("mimetype")) {
         annotation["mimetype"] = fileMimeType;
   }

   // Initialize the upload
   InitializeAnnotationBlocksUploadRequest initializeRequest = new()
   {
         Target = annotation
   };

   var initializeResponse =
         (InitializeAnnotationBlocksUploadResponse)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++;
         // Generates base64 string blockId values based on a Guid value so they are always the same length.
         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
   CommitAnnotationBlocksUploadRequest commitRequest = new()
   {
         BlockList = blockIds.ToArray(),
         FileContinuationToken = fileContinuationToken,
         Target = annotation
   };

      return  (CommitAnnotationBlocksUploadResponse)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.
