Hi,

I have to send a email and i have email code. In that there are parameters (like email address, a, b and etc). So while sending the email, it is taking the info from parameters. My doubt is

C#

public static void SendEmail(string FirstName, string LastName, string emailAddress, string BODY, string TASKID)

In the above mentioned line, i have used string emailAddress as one of the parameter and i have written the code to get the email address in other page as shown below:

C#

List<String> updateAddresses = new List<String>();
            foreach (var person in personResults.Results)
            {
                string addr = null;

                addr = person.Artifact.Fields.Single(
                        field => field.Guids.Contains(GUIDCollection.EMAIL_ADDRESS_GUID)
                    ).ValueAsFixedLengthText;

                if ((addr != null) && (addr != ""))
                {
                    updateAddresses.Add(addr);
                }
            }

So now, if do emailAddress = updatedAddress.Add(addr), it is giving error. Now how to get the value into emailAddress string? Any help would be appreciated.

What I have tried:

Tried renaming the string addr to emailAddress. Not sure whether it is correct or not.

When you declare a method, like your SendEmail method, you provide parameters which consist of the type of the data, and the name of a variable to store the data in.
It's just like you had this inline code:

C#

string myName = "OriginalGriff";
string yourName = "Member 8010354";
...
string userName = myName;
username = "The user's name is: " + userName;
Console.WriteLine(userName);
...
username = yourname;
username = "The user's name is: " + userName;
Console.Writeline(username);
...

You could take the "common code" and make that a method:

C#

public void ShowUsername(string userName)
   {
   username = "The user's name is: " + userName;
   Console.Writeline(username);
   }
...
string myName = "OriginalGriff";
string yourName = "Member 8010354";
ShowUsername(myName);
ShowUsername(yourName);

The name of the parameter variable is only relevant inside the method, it can't be accessed outside.

In your case, all you have to do is call SendEmail and pass it the relevant parameter data:

C#

SendEmail("Original", "Griff", originalGriffEmailAddress, "Hello!", "I have no idea what a task id is");

As long as the variable originalGriffEmailAddress exists and holds my email address as a string, it'll work.

More specific than that I can't be: you don't show where you call the method, or where that foreach loop code you show fits into your program.
