HI,

         I receive an error when the code executes on client browser. When i run the code from the local client PC, the error message box displays correctly. I read posts that say that i need to use JAVASCRIPTING. Could u guide me thru some scripts which can serve my purpose ??

ERROR in browser IS:

It is invalid to show a modal dialog or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application

Try


If FileUpload1.HasFile Then
cnnNwind.Open()


'Define and execute the INSERT SqlCommand

' MsgBox(FormView1.DataKey.Value)

Dim strSQL As String = "UPDATE StudentRegistration SET Photo = '" & TextBox1.Text & "' " + _

"WHERE StudID = '" & FormView1.DataKey.Value & "' "

Dim cmdUpdates As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, cnnNwind)
cmdUpdates.CommandType = Data.CommandType.Text

cmdUpdates.CommandText = strSQL

intRecordsAffected = cmdUpdates.ExecuteNonQuery


End If

Catch exc As Exception
MsgBox(exc.Message + exc.StackTrace)


Finally

'Close the SqlConnection
cnnNwind.Close()


End Try

Hi There,

You do need to use javascript to display a simple message box. The main reason is that (I think I am right, I mainly code in c#) the MsgBox function you are using creates a dialogue that is meant for Windows Forms applications, rather than an ASP.NET application. Hence (again I think) that it will only work on machines that have the .net framework installed.

You could use VBScript (Client Script) to present a dialogue to the user, but as VBScript is not a web standard, but a Microsoft language, not all browsers support it.

So javascript is the best option. To do this you can simply Response.Write the piece of javascript you want to execute (in this case an alert box). This will then execute immediately on the clients web browser.

To do this use the javascript alert function:

Response.Write(String.Format("<script type='text/javascript'>alert('{0}');</script>", exc.Message + exc.StackTrace))

If you replace you MsgBox line with the above, your code should work on any browser.

Hope this helps,
Richard Marriott.

Rich,
    I tried inserting the reponse.write javascript statement in my code-benhind page, but on entering an invalid value, i cannot see the exception handler execute the alert message being displayed on screen.
If i put a mormal Response.write("Hello"), then this message appears.

Alex,

Ok, its probably best in that case to use the ClientScriptManager of the Page object to register a script to run on startup if you exception occurs. To do this, use the following code:

Hope this helps,
Rich

Rich,
      I enetered the foll. line in the code-behind page:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(str ing), "MyStartupScript", String.Format("<script type='text/javascript'>alert('{0}');</script>", exc.Message + exc.StackTrace));

On compilation, it gives the 2 errors:
1) String is a 'class' type and cannot be used an an expression
2) '.' expected

Alex,

Apologies, I sent you c# code - me getting mixed up! Here is the VB.Net equivalent:
