Message Box in ASP.NET 1.1 1

[bubberz]

Can you do Message Boxes like a windows app for ASP.NET 1.1? From what I remember, you couldn't in ASP 3.0.
I thought I read something that ASP.NET 2.0 will have this functionality.

Thanks!

Asp.NET is like Vb.NET (from code-behide) ! Write your code as in VB. Some errors may always occur (cause is web App) but the error message will be displayed in the browser.

msgbox("prompt", ..., "title")

That won't work for a web application....

To display a message box to the user you will need to use a javascript alert. A good article on this is:

So why post it as a solution if it always errors?

MsgBox is an alias for System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox. Since this is a Windows Form class, you can't use it in an ASP.NET application -- you'll need to use a javascript alert. Or write to the NT EventLog. Or write to a log file, using something like log4net

Sorry for posting a little late.

You can definately use the msgbox()

<script language=vbscript type=text/vbscript >
sub Show()
msgbox "Hi",vbyesno,"blabla"
end sub
</script>

Yes, in vbscript you can show a message box but your original post stated to write it in the code-behind page which meant that you were calling the System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox (as chiph pointed out to you).

Therefore your second soltion is different to your original (although it now contains is a valid solution) and the original response was incorrect and will still not work.
