MessageBox.Show

Hello,

I use in my application MessageBox.Show and it works perfectly when I run
this application on my local computer (http://localhost). When I diployed
this application on the server, however, it does not work. It does not give
me even an error message, but the screen is just freezed (it is running open
the page). What are the requirements for the MessageBox.Show to work ? I
suppose something is missiong on the server as the same MessageBox.Show
works well on my local computer.

Thank you for your advice,

Kiyomi

Is this a ASP.NET web application? If so you shouldn't be using
MessageBox, it's for windows applications.

Thank you, Mattias, for your prompt reply. Yes, it is a ASP.NET web
application. I should use javascript instead, then. But I wonder why it
works on my local computer ?

Thank you,

When you say "works", you mean that the message box shows up on the system
where the .NET code is running, yes? So that's your system when you're in
development mode, and the IIS server when it's deployed. So as far as you
know it might actually be working, showing a message box on the server (or
at least trying to). The messagebox on the server might be running in an
environment where it just won't show because it's showing in an invisible
Windows station context. I'm assuming you're debugging or something because
it's not very useful for a user to be sitting there with a dead web page
because a messagebox is showing on some remote server somewhere.

I have a strange situation. A simple call to MessageBox.Show("XXX", "YYY") does not display the message in the messagebox with a visible font.

Why does the MessageBox.Show function in the thread below changes the program behaviour, in other words, the APListView becomes filled with values with a call to RefreshAPListView.
