[SOLVED] How to generate a fax and send it in code

How to generate a fax and send it in code

I have a business requirement to generate a fax and send it to the recipient. I know the recipients name and fax number and there is a PDF that will be attached. This process will run daily and consist of 100 records to process each time. I was under the impression that this could be done by sending an email to the fax machine and a quick test in Outlook worked just fine. However, if I were to try and do the same thing in code, I get an error about the mail address being invalid.

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("[Fax:myUser@5555555555]"));

What are my options for sending faxes from code? (.NET) These faxes are confidential in nature...

EDITED INFO

My company does use Right Fax.

Solution

Here is some code that may help. This is using the Right Fax COM API Library (rfcomapi.dll)

RFCOMAPILib.FaxServerClass faxserver = new RFCOMAPILib.FaxServerClass();
faxserver.ServerName = "ServerName";
faxserver.Protocol = RFCOMAPILib.CommunicationProtocolType.cpNamedPipes;
faxserver.UseNTAuthentication = RFCOMAPILib.BoolType.True;
faxserver.OpenServer();

RFCOMAPILib.Fax fax = (RFCOMAPILib.Fax) faxserver.get_CreateObject(RFCOMAPILib.CreateObjectType.coFax);

// set up your 'fax' object the way you want it, below is just some sample options
fax.ToName = "John Doe";
fax.ToFaxNumber = "4255551111";
fax.ToVoiceNumber = "4255550000";
fax.ToCompany = "ACME";
fax.FromName = "My Company";
fax.FromVoiceNumber = "4255552222";

fax.Send();
