   string strSubject = "Subject";

            System.Net.Mail.MailMessage message = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();

            message.To.Add("[email protected]");

            message.Subject = strSubject;

            message.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("[email protected]");

            message.Body = "emailbody";

             HttpWebRequest MyRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://companyname.com/xyz/Book1.xlsx");

            try

Hi

Try with this,

var stream = new WebClient().OpenRead("http location"

);

Attachment attachement = new Attachment(stream, ""

);
