Setting the Filename in AS2 Messages

When sending AS2 messages, the filename included in the payload is determined automatically if a file is provided from disk. For example, setting the EDIData.Filename property will use the actual file name in the transmitted message:

as2sender.EDIData.FileName = "C:\\myfile.txt";

In this case, the transmitted filename will be myfile.txt.

If sending data without a physical file, or if a custom filename is required, the EDIData.Name property can be set explicitly to control the name seen by the trading partner:

as2sender.EDIData.Name = "myname.txt";

If no name is specified, the default filename rfc1767.edi is used.
