Dear Friends,

I need to show the windows Messagebox in asp.net as it was my requirement. So i did the same but when i hosted it on one of the server just in order to get the work tested by testers, the same when checked shows a server level:500 error in the browser. I found that this problem is not related to any browser or network but related to web server level error (which is hosting the website).

Does the problem is related to showing of windows message box in asp.net or something else. Please help me out.

Thanks

Solution 1

You need to show a message on the client (the code you have written is probably for the server).
See here[^].

Solution 2

You can't show a message box in ASP.NET: it will try to show onteh server, not the client. This will annoy the webserver administrator...

Use the Alert instead:

Response.Write("<script>alert('Hello')</script>");

Try any of these controls:
ASP.Net C# MessageBox[^]
Simple MessageBox functionality in ASP.NET[^]
MessageBox WebControl W3C-Css ASP.NET[^]
AJAX Enabled MessageBox[^]

There are more samples and articles here at CP[^] itself.

I see question closed, but thought of sharing the control and links that looked helpful.

Solution 3

One of the reasons a lot of newbies are confused is that, during development the client and server machines are the same. So their MessageBox.Show works fine and everybody's happy. Deployment day arrives and the message boxes are all gone. It's so common a mistake that maybe the compiler should issue a warning when people use it from web projects!

The 2 didn't hurt that bad until I saw it was a Platinum member. :omg:
