Hi Prathap,

You need to create the proxy of the webservice in your project OR add web reference of the web service (which will in turn create proxy).

In your code, add the following lines -

localhost.Service1 svc = new Application1.localhost.Service1();

object obj= svc.getEmployee();

Employee emp = new Employee();

emp = (Employee)obj;

now you can use the code emp.username.ToString() to get the username

and emp.email.ToString() to get the email.

You can return an instance of your class from Asmx Web method similar like other data type.But the only thing you need to remember is your class should be decorated with [Serializable] attribute and all property of your class should not be of complex type.

Below code snippet will help you.

 [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
   [ToolboxItem(false)]
   public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService
    {
        [WebMethod]
        public Employee GetEmployee()
        {
            return new Employee();
        }
    }
    [Serializable]
    public class Employee {
        private string userName;
        public string UserName{
            get { return userName; }
            set { userName= value; }
        }
        private string email;
        public string Email
        {
            get { return email; }
            set { email= value; }
        }
    }

Actually, the [Serializable] attribute is not used by the XML Serializer.

WCF is Web Services. They are not two separate things.
Use WCF for All New Web Service Development, instead of legacy ASMX or obsolete WSE
Use File->New Project to create Web Service Projects
