Question : Mail-Merge Methods C#

Hi All,

I am creating a mailing list function for a client that will enable them to write a message and then include format items such as [Name] and [Email] which will then be replaced with data like your typical mail-merge similar to String.Format() method. But rather than being limited to specifying format items as so {0}, {1} etc.. I would like to use format items that would be more specific to the user such as [Name], [Email].

Could anyone suggest an effective way to achieve this?

Many thanks,

Rit
