Hi,
You have written a function for e-mail validation in a seperate cs file.
You can call the function in the onclick event handler as

for suppose your event handler is btnclk then

protected void btnclk(object s,eventargument e)
    {
         // create object of cs class
        bool x=object.ValidateEmailAddress(txtEmail.Text)
        if(x==yes)
         {
           cmd_insertuserDetail.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@email", txtEmail.Text));
          }
        else
        {
           MessageBox.Show("Enter valid Email ID", "Error!!",      MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk);
         }

     }

however i think u dont need this hectic code when you can use validation controls unless u have some good reason.

thank you.

public static bool IsValidEmailAddr(string email)
    {
      try
      {
        System.Net.Mail.MailAddress addr = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(email);
      }
      catch
      {
        return false;
      }

      return true;
    }
