How to Convert EML to PNG in C# .Net Framework

Converting EML files into images is no walk in the park if you are trying to achieve it programmatically. Or at least that was true until today. I will be showing you a nice simple way of getting this done, requiring just a few minutes from your busy schedule.

We are going to start out with package installation, using NuGet’s package manager console. Here’s the command for that.

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 3.2.8

And now we can get to our function call, as see in the below example:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class ConvertDocumentEmlToPngExample
{
public void main()
{
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Apikey", "Bearer");
var apiInstance = new ConvertDocumentApi();
var inputFile = new System.IO.Stream(); // System.IO.Stream | Input file to perform the operation on.
try
{
// Convert Email EML file to PNG image array
EmlToPngResult result = apiInstance.ConvertDocumentEmlToPng(inputFile);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling ConvertDocumentApi.ConvertDocumentEmlToPng: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

And that’s it! You’re done.
