I want to show a message in my web application using some kind of messagebox.... i tried to implement my own c# (javascript based) messagebox but it seems to fail! Is there an easy way of showing a message?

--> This message might be a simple remark with only an OK button or it might be an YES/NO or OK/Cancel question.... so i was thinking like the Messagebox under the Windows.Forms namespace!

It seems to me this is made way to difficult to implement, so i was hoping the framework provides this functionality... otherwise it is a shortcoming in the fralework!

Any help or remarks?

Hi,

I had the same problem and now I can show the MessageBox with this code in codebehind:

protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    // Define the name and type of the client scripts on the page.
    String csname1 = "PopupScript";
    Type cstype = this.GetType();

    // Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
    ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;

    // Check to see if the startup script is already registered.
    if (!cs.IsStartupScriptRegistered(cstype, csname1))
   {
      String cstext1 = "alert('Test!');";
       cs.RegisterStartupScript(cstype, csname1, cstext1, true);

   }

}

ASP:

<dxe:ASPxButton ID="btn" runat="server" AutoPostBack="False" OnClick="btn_Click"
                Text="Test" Width="91px">
</dxe:ASPxButton>

Hope this will help you.

Regards

 This is when you are using your own messagebox... but it shouldn't be to hard to use the confirmation form that DevExpress is using itself... i was hoping there was more information on it!

regards,

Popping up a javascript alert box is easy. You just need to get hold of the Page object (presumably from a view controller) and add something like the following:

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "validationError", "alert('Help!');", true);

For a confirmation box, you could do something similar, but you would need to include a javascript 'if' statement to check whether the user clicked OK or not, and then you could either do a manual postback, or call a client-side method of one of the controls on the page to trigger a postback.

If you would like to be more specific, then I might be able to help you with an example.

 Well,

assume you have 2 fields which need to be the same before the save will succeed. Whenever a user selects the Save action and the two fields are not the same a messagebox should be shown giving the message "mismatch...".

There might be other solutions for this, but i was hoping this was a good example...?
