        }
        return msg;
    }

}

When you say it doesn't work can you give a little more detail...

Does it report success but the email isn't sent? Does the exception (if raised) give any useful information?
 
the program gave me a parse error in the directive statement
<%@ WebService Language="C#" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/Service.cs" Class="Service" %>

the error describes that the service cannot be created.
 
If the code you posted above is for a webservice then why is it inheriting from the Page class?

Have you tried creating a new webservice and just trying to incluide the code required to send the email in it?
 
i have opened a new project as file-> new-> website-> asp.net web service and in the window written the code for the web service and while i was compiling got this error. also when i tried to change the name of the page directive it compiled successfully but am not able to publish the same to the localhost uddi registery.
 
If it is a web service it shouldn't be inheriting from the page class, try creating a new webservice and putting your code inside the webservice derived class rather than replacing the existing code with code from a page.
 
i have successfully debugged the program but how do i now register it to the uddi registery. i want to use the same web service in another web site which is already running on the web.
