ASP.NET emailing to multiple emails

Question

I have this code here...

MailAddress from = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "IPC Orders");
        MailAddress to = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
        MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(from, to);
        mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
        mail.To.Add("[email protected]");

Obviously this is not the full code, but when I try to send an email to multiple email address is doesnt send, if I comment out these two lines...

        mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
        mail.To.Add("[email protected]");

It works and will send it to the first email MailAddress to = new MailAddress("[email protected]");

Whats wrong with my code

When you say it "doesn't send" what happens, do you get an exception? Are the mails just not received? — CodingGorilla, Jun 07 '12 at 18:15
[email protected] ? is that an valid email? or an writing error? — Andrei Neagu, Jun 07 '12 at 18:16
Nothing is with this snippet of code. Either the email address are wrong, or you are encountering some exception. Did you try catching the exception? — nunespascal, Jun 07 '12 at 18:22

USE AddressCollection FOR ADDING MULTIPLE TO ADDRESSES LIKE

mail.To = new AddressCollection( "[email protected], [email protected]");

you can try to add add all your email addresses to a list, then just iterate over that list and send a mail at each element

List<string> emailAddress = new List<string>();
emailAddress.add("[email protected]");
emailAddress.add("[email protected]"); // ... etc


 foreach (string email in emailAddress)
 {
  MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(from, email);
  //+ more stuff
 }
