[Gambas-user] Using SmtpClient attachments in a loop (was User Digest, Vol 27, Issue 22)

[T Lee Davidson]

Clearing a string variable by setting it to an empty string does work. I don't see where you tried to clear it. What I see is 
that you reload it from the file every time your loop executes.

There is no method to clear attachments of an SmtpClient. It is not even possible to set the Count to zero since that is a 
read-only property.

What you will need to do is kill and re-create the SmtpClient object in each loop iteration. Specifically, do not create a New 
object outside of the loop. For example, try something like this:

   Dim Email As SmtpClient

   While iamawake = True

     Email = New SmtpClient
     ' Set properties
     Email.Send
     Email = Null

   Wend
