Hi Varaprasad,

Thanks for your response.

I have already gone through the above document but still I'm not able to resolve the error.

Here is my code snippet and I have highlighted the error line -

         
for(Domain_and_Hosting__c tempDH : dhList){
               
            Messaging.SingleEmailMessage msg = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
    
                String[] toAddresses = new list<string>{tempDH.Email__c};  
               
                if(tempDH.CC_Email__c != null && tempDH.CC_Email__c != ''){
 
                     String[] ccAddresses = new list<string>{tempDH.CC_Email__c};
                       ccaddresses = tempDH.CC_Email__c.split(',');  
                       msg.setCcAddresses(ccAddresses);
                }
               
                if(tempDH.Domain_Status__c == 'Domain with FTP Details & Name Server .in' || tempDH.Domain_Status__c == 'Domain with FTP Details & Name Server co.in'){
                     
                       if(attachmentList.size() > 0){
                                                system.debug('---attachmentList---' + attachmentList);
                             
                            for(Attachment tempAttachment : attachmentList){
                                   system.debug('--attachmentList.Name--'+ tempAttachment.Name + '--Content Type-'+ tempAttachment.ContentType);
                                   system.debug('--BODY--' + tempAttachment.Body);
                                 
                                  attachmentName = tempAttachment.Name;
                       
                                     if(attachmentName!=null){
                                         Messaging.EmailFileAttachment emailAttachment = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
                                         emailAttachment.setBody(tempAttachment.Body);
                                         emailAttachment.setContentType(tempAttachment.ContentType);
                                         emailAttachment.setFilename(tempAttachment.Name);
                                         emailAttachments.add(emailAttachment);
                                     }                                     
                            }
                            system.Debug('---attachmentList---'+attachmentList+'---attachmentList size---'+attachmentList.size());
                            }
                }
                  
                msg.setWhatId(tempDH.id);
                msg.setTemplateId(DHSettingMap.get(tempDH.Domain_Status__c));   
                msg.setToAddresses(toAddresses);


             msg.setTreatTargetObjectAsRecipient(false);

                msg.setTargetObjectId(tempDH.TargetID__c); 
                msg.setOrgWideEmailAddressId(orgUserEmailId.get(tempDH.OwnerID));
                if(emailAttachments.size() > 0)
                     msg.setfileAttachments(emailAttachments);
         
                messageList.add(msg);
   
                system.Debug('---messageList---'+messageList);
        }
       
        if(messageList.size()>0)
            Messaging.sendEmail(messageList,false);

msg.setTreatTargetObjectAsRecipient(false); ---> This line is throwing Save error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: [Messaging.SingleEmailMessage].setTreatTargetObjectAsRecipient(Boolean)

Any further help would be highly appreciated.

setTreatTargetObjectAsRecipient(Boolean treatAsRecipient)
This method was introduced in Winter '16 release. Try updating the API version of your apex class to the latest one. It should work.
