clear() is a function here. You cannot call the function inside the class directly. You can only declare a function in the class. A function can be called inside a function. Do a little modificaiton in your coding. Here it is:

C#

public partial class contact_us : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
	{
	}
    public void clear()
    {
        TextBox1.Text = "";
        TextBox2.Text = "";
        TextBox3.Text = "";
        TextBox4.Text = "";
    }
    
    protected void image_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
    {
        
        //(1) Create the MailMessage instance
        
 
            MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
            mail.To.Add("xyz@gmail.com");
            mail.From = new MailAddress(TextBox2.Text);
            mail.Subject = "Inquiry regarding Umang Party Plot";
            mail.Body =  TextBox4.Text;
            mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
 
            //(3) Create the SmtpClient object
            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
            smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
 
            //Or Your SMTP Server Address
            smtp.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("xyz@gmail.com", "12345");
 
            //Or your Smtp Email ID and Password
            smtp.EnableSsl = true;
            smtp.Send(mail);
        
       
        Response.Write("<script language="'javascript'">alert('Your Inquiry has been Successfully send.');location.href('contact_us.aspx');</script>");
        //Put it inside the function.
        clear();
    }
}
