Hi,

I am building the webservice. I need to send email logically through code.
For example : The User will send a request to webserver. He will choose Multiple recipients by selecting the check boxes. The webserver will get the recipients name and email id list. So please help me that, through code i will be able to send a mail to multiple recipients.

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

There is a generic routine here for sending email: Sending an Email in C# with or without attachments: generic routine.[^]
All you have to do is add more "To" addresses, or use the CC / BCC list instead.

Nice that you added it as a tip. Wonder that people have stopped using Google and instead ask questions at CP. :)

Google gives all the solution but Code project gives the best solution out of all the solutions. So people ask question at CP...

Solution 2

You can have all the email ids comma separated in the to address. And then send you will be able to send for multiple recipients.

Try this:

Namespaces:

C#

using System.Collections; //ArrayList
using System.Data.SqlClient; //SQL
using System.Net.Mail; //email

Code:

C#

private void btnSend_Email_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ArrayList list_emails = new ArrayList();
            int i = 0, email = 0;
            sqlConnection1.Open(); //connection to the database.
            SqlCommand cmd_Email = new SqlCommand("Select Email from Email_Table", sqlConnection1);
            SqlDataReader read_Email = cmd_Email.ExecuteReader();
            while (read_Email.Read())
            {
                email = read_Email.GetValue(i).ToString();
                list_emails.Add(email); //Add email to a arraylist
                i = i + 1 - 1; //increment or ++i
            }
            read_Email.Close();
            sqlConnection1.Close(); //Close connection
 
            foreach (string email_to in list_emails)
            {
                MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
                mail.To.Add(email_to);
                mail.Subject = "Welcome to C#";
                mail.From = new MailAddress(hold_Account);
                mail.Body = "Test";
                SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("SMTP Server");
                smtp.Send(mail);
            }
