Call A Client Side Function Before a Server Side Function
Hi All,
Can anybody tell me if it is possible to run a client side function and then if a particular action occurs, a call to the server will be made and dealt with.
To put some context, I would like to have a "Delete" button on a screen that will eventually delete a record out of my database. However, I would like to ask the user "Are you sure you would like to delete this record?" before doing so. If they confirm, then I would like my C# server side functionality deleting the record to fire. If they do not confirm, I would like nothing to happen.
Is this possible/does anybody know a link to a decent tutorial?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply guys! In the previous methods, will the server side function still fire even if the return value is false?
if you use the below code and if you click no or function returned false then the server side function will not be fired.
<asp:Button
ID="btnDelete"
runat="server"
Text="Delete"
OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure want to delete this record?');"
/>

ASP.NET
The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

<asp:Button
ID="btnDelete"
runat="server"
Text="Delete"
OnClientClick="MyClinetSid
/>
The javascript code is:
function MyClinetSideFunction()
{
val ret = confirm('Are you sure want to delete this record?');
return ret;
}
From your client side function if it is returned true then MyServerSideFunction() will be triggered. Otherwise it won't get triggered.
I hope this helps.
