Format to include attachment in SendMail C#

I'm not sure how to add an attachment to my SendMail function. Lets say i want to add "C:\test.pdf" as an attachment to my email, how do i add this from the SendMail function?

My User Side Code:

string attachment = "c:\test.pdf";

objEmail.SendMail(EmailTo, EmailFrom, Subject, "", attachment, System.Net.Mail.MailPriority.High, "", "", true);

Function Code:

public void SendMail(string mailTo, string mailFrom, string mailSubject, string mailBody, string[] mailAttachment, System.Net.Mail.MailPriority mailImportance, string mailCC, string mailBCC, bool mailBodyType)

If you are using the System.Net.Mail SmtpClient and System.Net.Mail.MailMessage classes, and wrapping them with your method, then you need to just use the MailMessage.Attachments property (an AttachmentCollection).

For example:

// specify the smtp connection
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("mail.yourdomain.com");

// create a MailMessage
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]");
mail.Subject = "EMail With Attachment";
mail.Body = "Please see attached document.";

// create an attachment
string pathToAttachment = @"\path\to\test.pdf";
mail.Attachments.Add(new Attachment(pathToAttachment));

// send the MailMessage
client.Send(mail);

Not sure what method SendMail is but you need to create an array like this:

string attachment = "c:\test.pdf";
string[] attachments =  new string[] { attachment };
