I want to read the attachments from one list item (in ItemCreated event) to another, new ListItem. How can I do this with the Client Object Model? All I found is server-side code...
Another question: Are the attachments also deleted when I delete a list item or are they still existing on the server?
I got it! The following code worked for me:
private static void NewTryToAttachFiles(ClientContext ctx, Web web, List fromList, ListItem fromItem, List toList, ListItem toItem)
{
string src = string.Format("{0}/lists/{1}/Attachments/{2}", web.Url, fromList.Title, fromItem.Id);
Folder attachmentsFolder = web.GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl(src);
web.Context.Load(attachmentsFolder);
FileCollection attachments = attachmentsFolder.Files;
web.Context.Load(attachments);
web.Context.ExecuteQuery();
if(attachments.Count > 0)
{
foreach (File attachment in attachments)
{
// FileInformation fileInfo = File.OpenBinaryDirect(ctx, attachment.ServerRelativeUrl);
ctx.Load(toItem);
var clientResultStream = attachment.OpenBinaryStream();
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
var stream = clientResultStream.Value;
AttachmentCreationInformation attachFileInfo = new AttachmentCreationInformation();
Byte[] buffer = new Byte[attachment.Length];
int bytesRead = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
System.IO.MemoryStream stream2 = new System.IO.MemoryStream(buffer);
attachFileInfo.ContentStream = stream2;
attachFileInfo.FileName = attachment.Name;
Attachment a = toItem.AttachmentFiles.Add(attachFileInfo);
ctx.Load(a);
web.Context.ExecuteQuery();
stream2.Close();
}
}
ctx.Load(toItem);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
}
It copies the attachments of one list item (fromItem) to the new item!
