ASP .NET code running on the server cannot access Outlook running on the client. If it could, that would be a security weakness.

You could try writing a JavaScript script that runs on the client. See Need help on starting an Outlook Email from webapp with file attachment

You haven't clearly expressed the business problem so it is difficult to give you a quality answer. Where is the file to be attached (Client or Server)? Why does it have to be emailed by the client via Outlook? Could the server email it using SMTP?
