## Syntax

### C++

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT AddFromMemory(
  __int64          HGlobal,
  BSTR             FileName,
  BSTR             Description,
  IPDFAttachment** Result
);
```

### C\#

```csharp theme={null}
IPDFAttachment AddFromMemory(
  Int64  HGlobal,
  string FileName,
  string Description
);
```

### Visual Basic .NET

```vb theme={null}
Function AddFromMemory( _
  HGlobal As Int64, _
  FileName As String, _
  [Description As String = "0"] _
) As IPDFAttachment
```

## Parameters

HGlobal

\[in] Specifies the HGLOBAL handle of the memory block which contains the attachment file. The handle is passed as [\_\_int64](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/advanced-techniques/programming-aspects/working-with-properties). This handle should be valid.

FileName
