sending mail to multiple users

[vinod allapu]

hi all,

I have a string str which contains email addresses seperated with ';' like [e-mail];vinodkum...@ hotmail.com to whom i want to send mails with same body... when iam saying

mail.To.Add(str);

its displaying a message saying: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address... can any one solve my problem by changing the code where iam going wrong....!!

thank you

you have to add individual addresses, not a gang of them. Just because outlook seperates with a semicolon doesn't mean .NET does.

Break down your big string by seperating at the semicolons and add each address one at a time.

Usually when I encounter problem like this, I split the list of email in array and add them individually.

dim arrEmails as string() = strEmailList.split(";")

Dim str as string = ""

foreach str in arrEmails
mail.to.add(str.trim())

next

Don't know why you add to the To field, but you can do mail.CC.add(...) or mail.BCC.add(.....)

You have separate the individual mail id from that string and then add it to
mail.to.add()
