Can I use Msgbox function in ASP.NET ?

Expand Post »

hi guys

I have heard that for displaying message we generally use MSGBOX function in VB.NET and
we use ScriptManager.RegisterStartscript in ASP.NET to display message box...
but I have tried to use Msgbox function in ASP.NET and it works here also...
So is it ok to use Msgbox function in websites to display message or
there are some problems or issues related to it?
If yes then pls let me know..

No you can't. You need to use a client side alert() with javascript. You can read about client side events here:

Re: Can I use Msgbox function in ASP.NET ?

Actually here is an example with an alert on a server side control. This will cause an alert then a postback:

Page:

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Alerter.aspx.cs" Inherits="daniweb.web.Alerter" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    	<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Alerter.aspx.cs" Inherits="daniweb.web.Alerter" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    	<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Code behind:

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
using System;
 
namespace daniweb.web
{
  public partial class Alerter : System.Web.UI.Page
  {
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:alert('hello');");  
    }
  }
}
using System;

namespace daniweb.web
{
  public partial class Alerter : System.Web.UI.Page
  {
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript<b></b>:alert('hello');");  
    }
  }
}

I don't know the answer to that -- go ahead and test it out. The MsgBox() call lies in the System.VisualBasic namespace and I do my best to avoid that namespace for compatibility reasons.

'hey sknake,can u tell me one thing,that instead of writing Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:alert('hello');"); on button click event,Y we write it in Page Load event! '

This is used in the form load so that the Javascript is applied to the control once the form loads, otherwise this will only be applied to the control once you click on a button , therefore you will have to click the button twice.

1. to apply the JavaScript
2. to fire the javaScript

Re: Can I use Msgbox function in ASP.NET ?

The form_load event fires server side to create the page -- not when the form loads at the browser end. Its just adding a client side event to the button -- the asp:button's click event is normally server side.

Is this what you are asking?
