How to CREATE POST IN C# to an endpoint on BMC REMEDY API to create a ticket with files submited in form-data?

I have this problem. i have to submit a file (or not) to an endpoint on an API of bmc.
the KEY:entry with the VALUE:data_entry.txt is the json to send with the values, as the same of the body.
The attach-z2AF_WIAttachment1 is the file i want to submit. I'm it's always throuwing some error, or headers invalid, or filetype not valid, but in postman is working.
I cant convert to C#.
this is my code so far, or now.
try
{
//authentication
var dict = new Dictionary<string, string>();
dict.Add("username", "applicationUsernameJonDoe");
dict.Add("password", "applicationPassowrdXPTO");
var clientLogin = new HttpClient();
var req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, Endpoint_loginITSM) { Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(dict) };
var res = clientLogin.SendAsync(req); //.Result.ToString();
var body = res.GetAwaiter().GetResult().Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
//pedido de criação de registo
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
var request = new HttpRequestMessage
{
RequestUri = new Uri(Endpoint_CreateITSM),
Method = HttpMethod.Post
};
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", body.Result.ToString());
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(registos.Objeto.fileName))
{
registos.Objeto.Registo.z2AF_WIAttachment1 = registos.Objeto.fileName;
}
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { values = registos.Objeto });
byte[] file_bytes = System.Convert.FromBase64String(registos.Objeto.fileEncoded);
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
using (BsonDataWriter writer = new BsonDataWriter(memoryStream))
{
JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
serializer.Serialize(writer, registos.Objeto.Registo);
}
var data_entry_bytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
// we need to send a request with multipart/form-data
var multiForm = new MultipartFormDataContent();
ByteArrayContent data_entry_json_content = new ByteArrayContent(data_entry_bytes);
data_entry_json_content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
data_entry_json_content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("entry")
{
FileName = "data_entry.txt",
Name = "entry",
};
multiForm.Add(data_entry_json_content);
ByteArrayContent z2AF_WIAttachment1_content = new ByteArrayContent(file_bytes);
z2AF_WIAttachment1_content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
z2AF_WIAttachment1_content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attach-z2AF_WIAttachment1")
{
FileName = registos.Objeto.fileName,
Name = "attach-z2AF_WIAttachment1",
};
multiForm.Add(z2AF_WIAttachment1_content);
request.Content = multiForm;
var result = await client.SendAsync(request);
var resBody = result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result.ToString();//.ConfigureAwait(false);
dynamic _resBody = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(resBody);
string registoID = _resBody["values"].SysRequestID;
return ResponseHandler<string>.Resposta(false, "resposta api bit criar registos", registoID);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
string classname = this.GetType().Name;
CentralLibrary.Services.ErrorLoggingService.ErrorLogsForCore(classname, e, _env.WebRootPath);
return ResponseHandler<string>.Resposta(true, "EXCEPTION : resposta api bit criar registos", e.Message);
}

Here is a better solution.
I had a problem with the last, but for someone who doesnt wnat to use de library RestClient that's the way. But this is working 100% and i have JsonProperty Names for NewtonSoft.Json so this workin with names like
[JsonProperty("z1D Action")]
public string z1D_Action { get; } = "CREATE";
so, my code is, and using an object AbrirRegistosITSM with nested object AbrirRegistosITSM_com_anexo my final solution is
AbrirRegistosITSM _registo = new AbrirRegistosITSM
{
Values = new AbrirRegistosITSM_com_anexo
{
Details = registos.Objeto.Comentario,
Customer_Login = registos.username,
Login_ID = registos.username,
SR_Type_Field_3 = registos.Objeto.Tipologia,
SR_Type_Field_28 = registos.Objeto.Categoria,
z2AF_WIAttachment1 = registos.Objeto.FicheiroNome
}
};
var client = new RestClient(Endpoint_CreateITSM);
string baseFolder = _env.WebRootPath;
string pathDir = Path.Combine(baseFolder, DateTime.Now.ToString().Replace('/', '_').Replace(' ', '_').Replace(':', '_'));
Directory.CreateDirectory(pathDir);
string pathDirFile = Path.Combine(pathDir, registos.Objeto.FicheiroNome);
File.WriteAllBytes(pathDirFile, Convert.FromBase64String(registos.Objeto.FicheiroBase64));
string pathEntryDir = Path.Combine(baseFolder, DateTime.Now.ToString().Replace('/', '_').Replace(' ', '_').Replace(':', '_'));
Directory.CreateDirectory(pathEntryDir);
string patnEntrydirFile = Path.Combine(pathEntryDir, "data_entry.txt");
File.WriteAllText(patnEntrydirFile, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { values = _registo.Values }));
var request = new RestRequest();
request.Method = Method.Post;
request.AddHeader("Authorization", token);
request.AddFile("entry", patnEntrydirFile, "application/json");
request.AddFile("attach-z2AF_WIAttachment1", pathDirFile, "application/octet-stream");
var reqbody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_registo);
request.AddParameter("application/json", reqbody, ParameterType.RequestBody);
RestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
var respostaBody = response.Content.ToString();//.ConfigureAwait(false);
dynamic _respostaBody = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(respostaBody);
string _registoID = _respostaBody["values"]["Request Number"];
then i return the request number that what i need, but you have a lot of values there. I use NewtonSoft remember that. I dont use JsonSerializer because i wasn't able to save the json property names with spaces with JsonSerializer.

I'm not entirely sure what's going wrong here. It can be a lot of things, but I might be able to get you going. The last couple of weeks I build a HttpClient that sends a file with metadata to a GraphQL endpoint.
Please ensure the following:
I think you are requesting the file through an call. Please store it in a variable as a Byte[] using the ReadAsByteArrayAsync(). Do note decode it or cast it to a string or anything. You'll just corrupt the file.
var response = client.GetAsync(fileUrl);
var downloadedFile = await response.Result.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
The following code might not work entirely in your case, but should help you get going building the right request, since I'm also sending metadata in my request containing the file extension and some other information. This will most likely send the file to your API without a file extension.
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var file = new byte[] { 1, 2, 3 };
var fileToUpload = new ByteArrayContent(file);
var formData = new MultipartFormDataContent
{
{ fileToUpload, "entry", "passInFileExtensionForExample"},
{ fileToUpload, "attach-z2AF_WIAttachment1", "passInFileExtensionForExample" }
};
var response = await client.PostAsync("endpoint", formData);
}
Add the Bearer token using the following code:
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", accessToken);

So i've discover the solution for my problem. I'm gonna to submit only one file. I have to submit also the Json body as a file "entry" "data_entry.txt" and for HttpRequestMessage you have to have a content MultipartFormDataContent and here you can add as many files as you have. i have to convert the Json body to a file ( in this case i converted to binary Array) with the name entry, and the name of the file data_entry.txt, but it's what the endpoint needs, so...whatever.
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10);
MultipartFormDataContent content = new MultipartFormDataContent();
//adicionar ficheiro
byte[] file_bytes = System.Convert.FromBase64String(registos.Objeto.fileEncoded);
StreamContent fileContent = new StreamContent(new MemoryStream(file_bytes));
fileContent.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("form-data")
{
Name = "files[attach-z2AF_WIAttachment1]",
FileName = registos.Objeto.fileName
};
fileContent.Headers.ContentType = MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/octet-stream");
content.Add(fileContent);
//adicionar ficheiro entry
StreamContent entryStreamContent = new StreamContent(new MemoryStream(ObjectToByteArray(registos.Objeto.Registo)));
entryStreamContent.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("form-data")
{
Name = "files[entry]",
FileName = "data_entry.txt"
};
entryStreamContent.Headers.ContentType = MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/json");
content.Add(entryStreamContent);
var request = new HttpRequestMessage
{
RequestUri = new Uri(Endpoint_CreateITSM),
Method = HttpMethod.Post,
Content= content
};
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", body.Result.ToString());
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { values = registos.Objeto.Registo});
request.Content = new ByteArrayContent(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json));
request.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
var resposta = await client.SendAsync(request);
var respostaBody = resposta.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result.ToString();//.ConfigureAwait(false);
dynamic _respostaBody = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(respostaBody);
string _registoID = _respostaBody["values"].SysRequestID;
return ResponseHandler<string>.Resposta(false, "resposta api bit criar registos", _registoID);
So this is my solution. and it's working :)

c#: Xamarin Email Sending returns email as HTML instead of rendering the actual layout

So I am sending an Email in .net like so. I am receiving the email that I am reading from the file with the stream reader but it is returned as HTML code instead of the actual layout. Is there an attribute I am forgetting to set?
public static async Task WelcomeEmail(string emailAdresse)
{
var fromAddress = new MailAddress(Constants.EMAILUSER, "Test");
const string fromPassword = Constants.EMAILPW;
var toAddress = new MailAddress(emailAdresse);
string subject = "Wilkommen";
string body;
var assembly = typeof(Email).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
string[] resources = assembly.GetManifestResourceNames();
Stream stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("InteriorCircle.Resources.welcome_mail.html");
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8))
{
body = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
var smtp = new SmtpClient
{
Host = Constants.EMAILSERVER,
Port = 587,
EnableSsl = true,
DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
UseDefaultCredentials = false,
Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress.Address, fromPassword)
};
using (var txt = new MailMessage(fromAddress, toAddress)
{
Subject = subject,
Body = body
})
{
smtp.Send(txt);
}
}

Changing name of automatic attached file in e-mail

I am using Mailkit library to send e-mails. This is the code to do so:
public async Task SendAsync(IdentityMessage message)
{
if (message == null)
return;
LinkedResource inline = new LinkedResource(System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath($"~/Images/logo.png"))
{
ContentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
ContentType = new ContentType("image/png")
{
Name = "logo.png"
}
};
var htmlBody = message.Body.Replace("{CID:LOGO}", String.Format("cid:{0}", inline.ContentId));
AlternateView avHtml = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(htmlBody, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
avHtml.LinkedResources.Add(inline);
using (MailMessage objMailMsg = new MailMessage())
{
objMailMsg.AlternateViews.Add(avHtml);
objMailMsg.Body = htmlBody;
objMailMsg.Subject = message.Subject;
objMailMsg.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
Properties.Settings.Default.Reload();
string fromEmail = Properties.Settings.Default.FromMail;
string fromName = Properties.Settings.Default.FromName;
string smtpPassword = Properties.Settings.Default.PwdSmtp;
objMailMsg.From = new MailAddress(fromEmail, fromName);
objMailMsg.To.Add(message.Destination);
objMailMsg.IsBodyHtml = true;
MimeMessage mime = MimeMessage.CreateFromMailMessage(objMailMsg);
HeaderId[] headersToSign = new HeaderId[] { HeaderId.From, HeaderId.Subject, HeaderId.Date };
string domain = "example.cl";
string selector = "default";
DkimSigner signer = new DkimSigner(#"C:\inetpub\dkim.pem", domain, selector)
{
HeaderCanonicalizationAlgorithm = DkimCanonicalizationAlgorithm.Relaxed,
BodyCanonicalizationAlgorithm = DkimCanonicalizationAlgorithm.Simple,
AgentOrUserIdentifier = "#contact.example.cl",
QueryMethod = "dns/txt",
};
mime.Prepare(EncodingConstraint.EightBit);
signer.Sign(mime, headersToSign);
using (SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient())
{
await Task.Run(() =>
{
try
{
smtpClient.Connect(Properties.Settings.Default.ServidorSmtp, Properties.Settings.Default.PuertoSmtp, Properties.Settings.Default.SSLSmtp);
smtpClient.Authenticate(fromEmail, smtpPassword);
smtpClient.Send(mime);
smtpClient.Disconnect(true);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ErrorLog.Save(ex);
//InfoLog.Save(htmlBody);
}
});
}
}
}
Well.. when the e-mail arrives, e-mail client shows it correctly in HTML format. However, an HTML file is attached in the e-mail also.
That file is named, for example, Attached data without title 00391.html. If I open that file in browser, the e-mail body is shown.
I have not found a way to change the name of that attachment.
Does anyone know?

The problem is probably this:
var htmlBody = message.Body.Replace("{CID:LOGO}", String.Format("cid:{0}", inline.ContentId));
AlternateView avHtml = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(htmlBody, null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
// ...
objMailMsg.AlternateViews.Add(avHtml);
objMailMsg.Body = htmlBody;
You are setting the HTML body text as 2 different body parts. If you create the avHtml part, you shouldn't also need to set objMailMsg.Body = htmlBody.
When MailKit later converts the System.Net.Mail.MailMessage into a MimeMessage, it probably ends up with 2 duplicate parts, one that gets used as the actual HTML body and one that gets added as an attachment w/o a name (the receiving client likely assigns this part a random name which is what you are seeing).
Alternatively, you could remove the logic that creates a System.Net.Mail.MailMessage completely and just construct a MimeMessage and avoid potential issues in conversion.
var bodyBuilder = new BodyBuilder ();
var logo = bodyBuilder.LinkedResources.Add (System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath($"~/Images/logo.png"));
var htmlBody = message.Body.Replace("{CID:LOGO}", String.Format("cid:{0}", logo.ContentId));
bodyBuilder.HtmlBody = htmlBody;
Properties.Settings.Default.Reload();
string fromEmail = Properties.Settings.Default.FromMail;
string fromName = Properties.Settings.Default.FromName;
string smtpPassword = Properties.Settings.Default.PwdSmtp;
var mime = new MimeMessage ();
mime.From.Add (new MailboxAddress (fromName, fromEmail));
mime.To.Add (MailboxAddress.Parse (message.Destination));
mime.Subject = message.Subject;
mime.Body = bodyBuilder.ToMessageBody ();
HeaderId[] headersToSign = new HeaderId[] { HeaderId.From, HeaderId.Subject, HeaderId.Date };
string domain = "example.cl";
string selector = "default";
DkimSigner signer = new DkimSigner(#"C:\inetpub\dkim.pem", domain, selector)
{
HeaderCanonicalizationAlgorithm = DkimCanonicalizationAlgorithm.Relaxed,
BodyCanonicalizationAlgorithm = DkimCanonicalizationAlgorithm.Simple,
AgentOrUserIdentifier = "#contact.example.cl",
QueryMethod = "dns/txt",
};
mime.Prepare(EncodingConstraint.EightBit);
signer.Sign(mime, headersToSign);

How to send email using GMAIL API having HTML body + attachment in ASP.NET

var msg = new AE.Net.Mail.MailMessage
{
Subject = subject,
Body = bodyhtml,
From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("myemail")
};
foreach (string add in vendorEmailList.Split(','))
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(add))
continue;
msg.To.Add(new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(add));
}
msg.ReplyTo.Add(msg.From); // Bounces without this!!
msg.ContentType = "text/html";
////attachment code
foreach (string path in attachments)
{
var bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(path);
string mimeType = MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(path);
AE.Net.Mail.Attachment attachment = new AE.Net.Mail.Attachment(bytes, mimeType, Path.GetFileName(path), true);
msg.Attachments.Add(attachment);
}
////end attachment code
var msgStr = new StringWriter();
msg.Save(msgStr);
Message message = new Message();
message.Raw = Base64UrlEncode(msgStr.ToString());
var result = gmailService.Users.Messages.Send(message, "me").Execute();
This code is working without attachment but with attachment instead of attachment directly byte[] is appearing in inbox.
If i remove msg.ContentType = "text/html" this line then it is working but html not rendering in email, appearing as plain text.
I want to send both HTML body and attachment, Please help.

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.Subject = subject;
mail.Body = bodyhtml;
mail.From = new MailAddress("myemail");
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
foreach (string add in vendorEmailList.Split(','))
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(add))
continue;
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress(add));
}
foreach (string add in userEmailList.Split(','))
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(add))
continue;
mail.CC.Add(new MailAddress(add));
}
foreach (string path in attachments)
{
//var bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(path);
//string mimeType = MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(path);
Attachment attachment = new Attachment(path);//bytes, mimeType, Path.GetFileName(path), true);
mail.Attachments.Add(attachment);
}
MimeKit.MimeMessage mimeMessage = MimeMessage.CreateFromMailMessage(mail);
Message message = new Message();
message.Raw = Base64UrlEncode(mimeMessage.ToString());
var result = gmailService.Users.Messages.Send(message, "me").Execute();
I found solution after lot of efforts. Instead of AE.Net.Mail.MailMessage used System.Net.Mail.MailMessage and MimeKit to convert it to raw string. And now html body with attachment is working fine.

try adding IsBodyHtml = true
new AE.Net.Mail.MailMessage
{
Subject = subject,
Body = bodyhtml,
From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("myemail")
IsBodyHtml = true
};

ASP.NET 5 / MVC 6 /C#: Close File Path after usage

i've got a problem with closing a temporary file. In my method I'm, generating an ics file, write text in it and then send it using MimeMail. The problem is that I don't know how to close the path so that I can access it to delete it after the mail was send. And MimeMail does not provide a solution like message.Dispose() or message.Close().
Here is my code:
public void SendEmailWithICal(string toEmailAddress, string subject, string textBody)
{
var message = new MimeMessage();
message.From.Add(
new MailboxAddress("Chronicus Dev", this.UserName));
message.To.Add(new MailboxAddress(toEmailAddress.Trim(), toEmailAddress.ToString()));
message.Subject = subject;
CalenderItems iCalender = new CalenderItems();
iCalender.GenerateEvent("Neuer Kalendereintrag");
var termin = iCalender.iCal;
string path = "TempIcsFiles/file.ics";
if (File.Exists(path))
{
File.Delete(path);
}
{
// Create File and Write into it
FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
StreamWriter str = new StreamWriter(fs);
str.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);
str.Write(termin.ToString());
//Close Filestream and Streamwriter
str.Flush();
str.Dispose();
fs.Dispose();
//Add as Attachment
var attachment = new MimePart("image", "gif")
{
ContentObject = new ContentObject(File.OpenRead(path), ContentEncoding.Default),
ContentDisposition = new ContentDisposition(ContentDisposition.Attachment),
ContentTransferEncoding = ContentEncoding.Base64,
FileName = Path.GetFileName(path)
};
var body = new TextPart("plain")
{
Text = "Meine ICal Mail"
};
//Configure Email
var multipart = new Multipart("mixed");
multipart.Add(body);
multipart.Add(attachment);
message.Body = multipart;
//Send Email
using (var client = new SmtpClient())
{
client.Connect(HostName, Port, false);
client.Authenticate(UserName, Password);
client.Send(message);
client.Disconnect(true);
}
//TODO Close File
//Trying to Delete, but Exception
File.Delete(path);
}
}
Thanks for any help!

Try to relocate the File.OpenRead(path),
and wrap the whole message object in using() like this:
public void SendEmailWithICal(string toEmailAddress, string subject, string textBody)
{
CalenderItems iCalender = new CalenderItems();
iCalender.GenerateEvent("Neuer Kalendereintrag");
var termin = iCalender.iCal;
string path = "TempIcsFiles/file.ics";
if (File.Exists(path))
{
File.Delete(path);
}
//Create file and write to it
using (var fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{
using (var str = new StreamWriter(fs))
{
str.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);
str.Write(termin.ToString());
//Close Filestream and Streamwriter
str.Flush();
}
}
//Compose the message
using (var read_stream = File.OpenRead(path))
{
using (var message = new MimeMessage())
{
message.From.Add(new MailboxAddress("Chronicus Dev", this.UserName));
message.To.Add(new MailboxAddress(toEmailAddress.Trim(), toEmailAddress.ToString()));
message.Subject = subject;
//Add as Attachment
var attachment = new MimePart("image", "gif")
{
ContentObject = new ContentObject(read_stream, ContentEncoding.Default),
ContentDisposition = new ContentDisposition(ContentDisposition.Attachment),
ContentTransferEncoding = ContentEncoding.Base64,
FileName = Path.GetFileName(path)
};
var body = new TextPart("plain")
{
Text = "Meine ICal Mail"
};
//Configure Email
var multipart = new Multipart("mixed");
multipart.Add(body);
multipart.Add(attachment);
message.Body = multipart;
//Send Email
using (var client = new SmtpClient())
{
client.Connect(HostName, Port, false);
client.Authenticate(UserName, Password);
client.Send(message);
client.Disconnect(true);
}
}
}
//Delete temporary file
File.Delete(path);
}
this should guarantee a closed file, assuming that client.Send is an entirely synchronous operation.

Use this code:
File.Create(FilePath).Close();
File.WriteAllText(FileText);
