Sending email to all the email adresses in gridview which are checked

Question

Hi,

I have a grid view control in my application.

Please see the below code.

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="CPUserID" DataSourceID="GetSelectDelegatesDataSource">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderStyle-CssClass="gridview_header" HeaderStyle-ForeColor="White" Visible="false" DataField="EmailAddress" HeaderText="Email Address" SortExpression="EmailAddress">

<HeaderStyle CssClass="gridview_header" ForeColor="White"></HeaderStyle>
</asp:BoundField>

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Select">

<HeaderTemplate>                                    
<input id="masterCheck" type="checkbox" />                                
</HeaderTemplate>                                
<ItemTemplate>                                    
<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="chkSelect" />                                
</ItemTemplate>                                
<HeaderStyle CssClass="gridview_header" ForeColor="White"></HeaderStyle>

</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

And I have a image button

<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnSendInvites" Visible="false" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images1/send_button.png" />

If you see above code you can find that there is check box functionality in my gridview. I have email address boundfield in my gridview. I want to send an email to the email addresses which are been checked in gridview.

Please provide the vb.net code for the same

Hi,

System.Web.Mail provide the functionality to send mail from .Net framework. Download the sample project Send Mail- codeproject and see how this is implemented.

Check this link on BulkEditGridView. It's just like a GridView, but you can edit (or perform actions on) multiple rows of a gridview with one click. I use it and love it.

Very quickly thrown together, you can get the jist.. I didn't test it or anything.

 Dim emailList As New List(Of String)
 For Each curRow As GridViewRow In GridView1.Rows
      Dim chkSelect As CheckBox = CType(curRow.Cells(1).FindControl("chkSelect"), CheckBox)

      If chkSelect.Checked Then
           emailList.Add(curRow.Cells(0).Text)
      End If
 Next

 ' you now have a generic list of email addresses..
