Using msgBox in ASP.NET
Hi,
When I use a msgBox in ASP.Net 2 the message doesn't pop up in the center of the screen as it does in regular visual basic applications but shows up like a minimized window on the task bar.
Is there a way to correct this?
Thanks

Hi tomasgruener:
Thanks for the tip. But is there an easy way to use JavaScript alert with an Asp.Net server control?

Depends on what you want to do... Just to show an example (i show it in c#, don't know the vb.net syntax). Lets say, you have a select on your screen, where you added the runat="server" tag with the id "customerSelect".
Now you can do following:
customerSelect.Attributes.
you could also add it directly to the html markup like this:
<select onchange="alert('You cangeng the value')">
But if you do it in the markup, you don't have control over the call... if you do it on the server side, you could create an outputstring like you need it (for example to include server time in the message)
If you don't get it, the best thing would be to create an empty page and just test this thing... its very simple, once you got it

//Code
customerSelect.Attributes.Add("onchange", "alert('You changed the value')");
<!-- Markup -->
<select onchange="alert('You cangeng the value')">

I am sorry I don't get it.....
What is not clear to me is where to place the code if I am using Asp.net mark up:
Let us say I have a button (call it button1), the original mark up will be in the following way:
<asp:button id="button1" runat="server" />
In a case like the above where do I place your code?

Very good ;) glad I could help
MsgBox is a WinForm control and gets displayed on the server. that means you see the msg box on the server, and all further operation is cancelled, until you click on it.... usually a client can't access the server, this means, that the web application will break.
if you want to display a msgbox to the client, use Javascripts alert.
