Dot before '=' cannot be interpreted as anything allowed by the syntax. After this dot ('.'), some identifier is expected. Remove this dot, and you will see.

But even the first line is a big mistake. This is the invitation for a known exploit called SQL injection: http://xkcd.com/327[^].

For further detail, please see my past answers:
EROR IN UPATE in com.ExecuteNonQuery();[^],
hi name is not displaying in name?[^].

Correct approach is explained here:

See that tiny little dot on line 5 of your code snippet?

C#

txtemail.Text. = "";

Should be this:

C#

txtemail.Text = "";

I'm assuming you're a beginner. Once you gain some experience you'll be able to spot these sort of syntax errors with your eyes shut. ;-)

BTW, Sergey mentioned in his answer that your script is open to SQL injection. You might want to take a good look at that...
