Add custom field from Accounts custom field & Relation to Accounts layout page using web service

** How to add custom field from Accounts custom field & Relationship to Accounts layout page using web service

Hi,
   I am unable to find a way of showing the custom field from Accounts custom field and relationship to my Account layout Page by using web service call. I was trying to do something like this

MetaDataWebReference.LayoutItem layitem_obj = new Test_ExpocadProject.MetaDataWebReference.LayoutItem( )         layitem_obj.field = "Notice__c";
layitem_obj.behavior = Test_ExpocadProject.MetaDataWebReference.UiBehavior.Edit;
layitem_obj.page = "Account";
MetaDataWebReference.AsyncResult ar1 = metadatabinding.create(new MetaDataWebReference.Metadata[] { layitem_obj }]

Here Notice__c is my custom field, which is already there in my Accounts custom field and Relationship Page.

But these code is not working...   Can someone please help me in this....


Thanks in Advance.....
