Using A Javascript Alert In Vb.net

Basically I am looking to create a JavaScript alert in my code because I am displaying this web application in a mobile browser (off a tablet) and well the normal... Try ' ...

Solution 1:

You need to understand the difference between server-side code (what you have provided in your question, and is processed on the server) and client-side code (which is what the browser receives from the server and processes on the users machine).

The javascript alert (or window.alert) is a way of putting up a message box with an OK button. If you want a "yes/no" type response, you can use a confirm (or window.confirm) which will return true if OK is selected and false if Cancel is selected (or Escape pressed).

One of the fastest ways of getting what you want it to register script...

Try
   ...  
Catch ex As Exception
   Dim myScript asString = "window.alert('There is a problem');"
   ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "myScript", myScript, True)
EndTry
