Display a modal Pop up in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I am currently developing an MVC project that requires giving the client 30 days trial. As from 5 days to the end of the trial, i want to start displaying warning messages to the user. I registered a Subscription Attribute which works just like the Authorize Attribute in ASP.NET MVC.

How it works:

While the client is working i check if(trial period <= 5 days) .

If true, an HttpSubscriptionExpiredResult Action Result is returned, which produces a customized status code. This status code is intercepted by the SubscriptionModule , which then redirects to the warning page.

My Needs:

I want the warning Action Method to return a modal pop up (or just a pop up). Or simply put: I want the warning message displayed in a modal pop up. This will prevent disrupting the client's work. How do i achieve this?

Answer 1

This status code is intercepted by the SubscriptionModule, which then redirects to the warning page .

There are lots of methods to make an modal popup in HTML pages; the simplest one is presented at Simple jQuery Modal Window Tutorial

In your warning page put the following JavaScript code

$(document).ready(function () {
    //id is the ID for the DIV you want to display it as modal window
    launchWindow(id);
}); 

It shows a nice popup window.
