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?

[srinivaskr]

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.

[PlausiblyDamp]

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.
