You Have edited script according to v2 i am getting this error on using that script pic attached

Answer 1

You need to assign your polyline variable in the initialize() function to a globally accessible variable, and then use the setOptions() method on it to set the new colour in your click event handler (in javascript).

e.g. if you changed the line in initialise() from this:

var polyline = new GPolyline(points, '#ff0000', 5, 0.7);  

to this:

window.polyline = new GPolyline(points, '#ff0000', 5, 0.7); 

And then wanted to have it change to blue when clicked, you would add code like:

GEvent.addListener(window.polyline, 'click', function() {
    window.polyline.setOptions(options: { strokeColor: 'blue' });
});

I haven't tested this, btw. But it should help you get on the right track.

EDIT: Here is what I think your script should be:
EDIT 2: Updated to work with API v2, though be aware Google strongly encourages you to migrate to the new V3 on both the V2 documentation page and the V3 documentation page.

js.Text = @"<script type='text/javascript'>
                            function initialize() {
                              if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
                                var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById('map_canvas'));
                                map.setCenter(new GLatLng(45.05,7.6667), 2);
                                map.openInfoWindowHtml ( new GLatLng(45.05,7.6667), 'Serif<br>Pakistan');
                                " + Locations + @"
                                map.setUIToDefault();
                                // Create an array with points  
                                var points = [
