Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the RegisterClientScriptBlock method of the ClientScriptManager class. Two client scripts are defined in the page: PopupScript, which displays an alert message when the page is loaded, and ButtonClickScript, which defines a client handler for an HTML button's onClick event.

Remarks

The ClientScriptManager class is used to manage client scripts and add them to Web applications. You can get a reference to the ClientScriptManager class from the ClientScript property of the Page object.

You can add a client script to a Web page declaratively by including the script in the HTML markup of the page. However, there are situations when adding client script dynamically is needed. To add a script dynamically, use the RegisterClientScriptBlock method, the RegisterClientScriptInclude method, the RegisterStartupScript method, or the RegisterOnSubmitStatement method, depending on when and how you want to add the script. For more information, see How to: Add Client Script Dynamically to ASP.NET Web Pages.

The ClientScriptManager class uniquely identifies scripts by a key String and a Type. Scripts with the same key and type are considered duplicates. Using the script type helps to avoid confusing similar scripts from different user controls that might be in use on the page.

The ClientScriptManager class can be used to invoke client callbacks in situations when it is desirable to run server code from the client without performing a postback. This is referred to as performing an out-of-band callback to the server. In a client callback, a client script function sends an asynchronous request to an ASP.NET Web page. The Web page runs a modified version of its normal life cycle to process the callback. Use the GetCallbackEventReference method to obtain a reference to a client function that, when invoked, initiates a client callback to a server event. For more information, see Implementing Client Callbacks Without Postbacks.

Note

Script callbacks will not work in older browsers that do not support the Document Object Model (DOM), and they require that ECMAScript is enabled on the client. To check if the browser supports callbacks, use the SupportsCallback property, which is accessible through the Browser property of the ASP.NET intrinsic Request object.

Use the GetPostBackEventReference method and the GetPostBackClientHyperlink method to define a client postback event. These methods enable client script functions, when invoked, to cause the server to post back to the page. A client postback event is different from a client callback in that the Web page completes a normal life cycle to process the client postback event.

Note

If you are using a Button control and the UseSubmitBehavior property is set to false, then you can use the GetPostBackEventReference method to return the client postback event for the Button control.

The OnClientClick property of the Button control, ImageButton control, and LinkButton control can be used to run client script.

Methods

The client function for this overloaded method includes a specified control, argument, client script, context, and Boolean value.
