messagebox in asp.net? how?

[patrickdrd]

Hi everyone!

Never before have I had so many problems displaying a message to the user
(being a programmer for the last 4 years)!

What I would like to do is show a message e.g. when a procedure fails, etc.

Tried searching google, tried with divs, managed to 'implant' a div in my master page to show info and error messages,
but I have two problems with it:
1) dropdown's display on top of this div!
2) can't produce confirm div (stop the javascript code and wait for user interaction)

So, what would you suggest - recommend me?

Thanks in advance!

Fortunately there are a few ways to do this. I often use a label and write JS to that, for example:

lbl.Text = "<script language='javascript'>window.alert('hello')</script>

Alternatives include using attributes.add(JS event, JS function), using response.write("<script...</script>"), using RegisterStartupScript and others.
