The constructor you are using is not accepting base64 input, but needs a path to a file:

public Attachment (string fileName);

Parameters

fileName String

A String that contains a file path to use to create this attachment.

(quoted from the documentation). And because your encoded image is longer than 260 characters, you get the exception that the path is too long.

It seems like one of the constructors accepting a Stream might be what you're looking for.

One possibility to convert your base64 encoded image to a stream is to create a MemoryStream out of it:

var imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(Base64urlpath);
using var stream = new MemoryStream(imageBytes);
var attachment = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(stream, null); // you may want to provide a name here
