    how to popup message box on the client side

    Hi all,
    I am coding with VB.Net 2005.
    I have an issue popping up a message box on the client's side.
    The message box works well when running the application on my
    local machine, but when the site is hosted on the server, there is an
    error showing a conventional message box() in vb.net 2005 on the
    client's machine.
    can anyone please help me with the script to pop up a message box
    on the client's side when the site is hosted.
    Thanks

    Hello,

    And welcome to the forums!!

    The problem here is the fact that you are using MessageBox.Show(). This class exists within the System.Windows.Forms namespace, and as such, has no place in a Web Application. It "works" on your local machine because while debugging out of Visual Studio your machine is both the server, and the client. As soon as you move it onto another machine, i.e. a server, it will stop working.

    There are techniques that you can use, such as a JavaScript alert, which would allow you to pop up a message, or you could simply write the message out to a label on your page.

    As I already mentioned you could get a simple JavaScript alert box:

    As for getting jQuery working within your application, have a look here:
