message box window using asp.net and c#

Question

I am trying to accomplish the following in my website:

There is a "Message User" button, when it is clicked I want to display a Message box to the user and have the following requirement:

1. The message box should not be a pop up window
2. The user Should still be able to see the page where button was clicked

I have seen this on other sites.

Is this accomplished using AJAX?

Answer 1

It is accomplished by using javascript - typically it's a hidden div on the page that is tied to the click event of your button - there are TONS of controls out there to do this (called dialog boxes) see:

jQuery Dialog Demo

Answer 2

You could also use the Ajax Control Toolkit

Answer 3

you can use on button click if displaying message box using Ajax as:

string jv = "alert('Error Details: Duplicate Entry of Company Name ');"; ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, typeof(Page), "alert", jv, false); return;
