Silverlight and WebService

I am working on a silverlight project which is a kind of virtual order. At the end it completes the input data and sends them as a mail . However you cannot send mails in silverlight because it doesnt allow .NET libraries which I use for sending mails (System.Net.Mail) so I am using a web service to send that mail . I use these functions :

  1. In silverlight

    public static void SendAsMail()
{
    MailServiceSoapClient client = new MailServiceSoapClient(); // Client of WebService
    client.SendMailAsync(output.ToString()); // output is the text of mail
}

  2. In WebService 

    
[WebService(Namespace = "http://www.mydomain.sk/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[System.ComponentModel.ToolboxItem(false)]
    public class MailService : System.Web.Services.WebService
    {
        [WebMethod]
        public bool SendMail(string mail_text)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("connected");
            // function which sends mail
            return true;
        }
    }
    I have added the MessageBox function to know if i have accessed the WebService. When I click the button which connects to WebService, it does nothing.

I don't know how to fix this, please help

Thank you

Make a service method that returns a value. Then you can use that to return any error messages or success messages

There is no way you can use a messagebox from a web service which runs inside IIS and has no user interface, this is not a windows application.

Try to replace messagebox.show with a logging method either in the windows EventLog or on a text file and check how it works.
