Solution 2

Read the filpath and filename in any variable and refer following code to attach a file

C#

string attachmentFilename ="C:\\Users\\asdf\\Desktop\\tab_menu\\abc.doc"; //Your file address;
 if (attachmentFilename != null && attachmentFilename!="")
                {
                    message.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(attachmentFilename));
                }
