Quick bit of C#.net help....

i'm doing some code in C#.net at the moment and i'm trying to use a method that i want to call from the page, but i dont know where to declare the function

<html>
<head>
<% @Page Language="C#" %>
<% @Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%
public static double Size(string directory, bool deep) {
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(directory);
foreach(FileInfo f in dir.GetFiles()) {
sizeInBytes += f.Length;
}
if(deep) {
foreach(DirectoryInfo d in dir.GetDirectories()) {
Size(d.FullName, deep);
}
}
return sizeInBytes;
}

%>
</head>
<body>
<%
try{
          *** rest of c#.net code - works fine *****
}
catch(exception e)
{
 catch code..
}
%>

i'm only new to the whole .net architechture and dont know where to declare the method. i get this error when i try to run it:

CS1519: Invalid token 'try' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

i tried declaring the function in the head and all that, what do i ghave to do to be able to call the method from inside the page? its late in the day and my heads wrecked with this, google hasnt helped me out so far anyway

The Try-Catch block is outside the ASP.NET interpreting braces <% %>
