How can I send a whole .Net project as attachment via gmail?

I'm frequently working with students on their .Net coding assignments. I'd like to email the code to them when we're done. The easiest thing would be just to zip the project folder and send the whole thing, but gmail always strips out my attachments because they contain executables. Generally it's just the myproject.vshost.exe or something innocuous like that, but it's a pain to have to find an alternative upload location and then email the link to that. Has anyone been able to find a workaround that would allow me to send attachments like this via gmail?

I suspect the answer to this is "nope, it's not possible," but I'll ask anyway

If you zip up everything in your project except the /bin and the /obj folders, you should be okay sending the project to them. When they get the project, they simply need to compile it again to get the executable, but all the code will already be there.
