Hi,

I have a TextBox control where i am using Ajax AutoComplete extender for the end user to enter email address of the people they want to save separated by a comma, my problem is that in code behind I want to read each email address entered by the user separately so that i can save it as an individual record in the database, How do i Read each email address separately code behind?

Thanks,

Chetan.

The solution by Sugato show correct idea, but there are number of bugs in code.
This is safer version of the split method:

C#

string [] emailArr =
    strEmailAddress.Split(
        new char[] {',', ' '},
        StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

Solution 1

Hi,
you can use String.Split function to separate the comma separated email address.
If you use String.Split(',') thn in the output you will get an array of those email addresses.the code ll be as follows:

C#

string strEmailaddress = Textbox.text;
string [] EmailArr = strEmailAddress.split(',');

Now if there is multiple value then the array will be

C#

EmailArr[]={"1@gmial.com", "2@gmail.com"};

Now you can take single element from this array by EmailArr[0] and EmailArr[1],
and can insert into DB.

Hope this will help you.

I fixed spelling errors, added tags to highlight code, and corrected some sytax errors in the code.

Sorry, I voted 3 due to some bugs in code. Please check up before posting.
Property Text and the method Split are capitalized; Split requires array of char, not char.
