String not working in main part

Matthew Rodwell

In the script below i am working out hte correct email address to send something too. but the srEmail isn't populating in the final part. i think i have set the code up wrongly as it like they don't see each other. I get an error saying it doesn't exist in this content but how do i get round that

thanks

String myOffice = dirEntry.Properties["physicalDeliveryOfficeName"].Value.ToString();
if (myOffice == "Leeds")
{
String srEmail = "[email protected]";
}
else if (myOffice=="Sheffield")
{
String srEmail = "[email protected]";
}
else if (myOffice =="York")
{
String srEmail = "[email protected]";
}
String Date = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
Outlook.Application app = new Outlook.Application();
Outlook.MailItem mailItem = app.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
mailItem.Subject = "New Stationary Order - " + myName + ":" + Date;
mailItem.To = srEmail;
string htmlString = @"

Hey.

Declare srEmail globally and assign the value in if elseif etc and then finally assign srEmail into mailItem.To.Thanks.
