Alert in ASP.NET?

[grand_marquisGT]

I was wondering how you display a client side alert window in ASP.NET...

Basically, I need both examples, both a OKCancel, and a regular OK...

Then, how do I use the integer returned from the user result?

Thanks in advance...

It depends on what you want to do with it.

You can do it in javascript like this:

confirm("Are you sure you want to do this?");

That returns a boolean based on the users selection of "OK" or "Cancel"

Does that help?

Is there a way to do it in the code in VB.NET?

This is what im trying.
'Declaring the variables.
Dim dbCmd As New SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim dbConn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection
Dim dbAdap As New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
Dim msg As String
Dim title As String
Dim style As MsgBoxStyle
Dim response As MsgBoxResult
msg = "Are you sure you want to delete this activity?" ' Define message.
style = MsgBoxStyle.DefaultButton2 Or _
MsgBoxStyle.Critical Or MsgBoxStyle.YesNo
title = "Fit For TEST" ' Define title.
' Display message.
response = MsgBox(msg, style, title)
If response = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then ' User chose Yes.
'lblDebug.Text = drgFit.DataKeys(e.Item.ItemIndex())
dbConn.ConnectionString = Me.Application("DB_CONN_STRING")
dbCmd.CommandText = "procFIT_Person_Activity_Del"
dbCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
dbCmd.Parameters.Add("@PersonID", Utilities.Login.GetLoggedOnUser(Me))
dbCmd.Parameters.Add("@PersonActivityID", drgFit.DataKeys(e.Item.ItemIndex()))
dbCmd.Connection = dbConn
dbConn.Open()
dbCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
dbConn.Close()
fill_drgFit()
End If

This is what I get:

It is invalid to show a modal dialog or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.

I think this has something to do with running a client side action, on a server side prog. what gives?

For future reference, this is what I found, and it works great!

Dim btn As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton
            btn = e.Item.FindControl("btnDelete")
            btn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this item?');")

Actually all that code above is doing is appending javascript to the html of your page. It is not issuing a message box from the server side. It is not possible to popup a message box from the server side. Just letting you know.
