Issue

You may encounter an error when sending an email notification with an attachment: 

Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed: content, file. Line 1, position 8001.

 

 

Symptoms

The XML structure of the file attachment stored in the database is not valid. For example:

 

<file><name>filename</name><content>Base64EncodedS

The string gets cut off because the size of the file attachment exceeds the data type set on the File column. 

 

An example of a valid XML structure is as follows:

<file><name>filename</name><content>Base64EncodedString</content></file>

 

 

 

 

Troubleshooting Steps

To resolve the issue, please change the File column data type to Varchar(max) or Nvarchar(max).
