Question

Hai guys,

I had the following code to send different mails to differnt users in my asp.net web application

foreach (DataRow dataRow in dataTable.Rows         


        

Answer 1

Thread per email is not the best idea as explained why by many, however in case you decided to create one background thread to handle all emails, the thread run time will be limited to 110 seconds. ASP.NET limits thread execution by default to 110 seconds in .NET 2.0. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e1f13641(v=vs.80).aspx

Creating a queue - as suggested by others in earlier replies - is more sensible and scalable.
