Hi,

I'm developing an application in C# ASP.NET. I have a few tab pages in my web page. When a user clicks on a tab I want to display a dialog box asking for password then verify the password and if correct open the selected tab page.
(my tab control is asp control)

Any idea is appreciated

Hi peace2007
on click of that tab you will open a dynamic dialog box,having userid and password textbox,on click on the submit button in the dialog box send request (alternatively u can choose ajax) and if success then show the selected tab.

Hope this will help you

Cheers :)

Thanks for the reply and sorry that I hadn't explained my problem well
Actually, I'm opening a dialog box using javascript but cannot return the value from that box into code behind page, because, many users may concurrently press a tab page so the return value cannot be distinguished. On the other hand, if I return the value to server.aspx I have to reload the page which I don't want.

Hi Peace2007!!

Great:)
 you are using inbuilt dialog box(modal dialog) which is part of the main page too.

wht do u mean by "many users may concurrently press a tab page so the return value cannot be distinguished."??
offcourse this is not the case.every request is separate one ,you can distinguish those too.

hope this link will help you

Since you don't want to reload the main page

1>user modal dialog, get the value of loginid/pwd
  on click of the button you can use ajax/iframe so that you send the login/pwd and validates it ,
 after getting response frm the server ,you can set the visibility of tab2<since u don't want to reload the page>

2>just open a div/span tag and make a form having loginid/pwd and submit button,
  on click of the button you can use ajax/iframe so that you send the login/pwd and validates it ,
 after getting response frm the server ,you can set the visibility of tab2<since u don't want to reload the page>

Thank you Vinod!

I'll check the code as your guidance and will let you know the result soon :)

I agree, if you don't want to refresh the page, then you're definitely talking about an Ajax solution. That's the only other way to talk to the server to verify the username and password.

so sorry but it seems I'm too beginner to get head or tail of explanations of those links
My tab control is an aspx control not a client side one so I can get control of selectTab event of it in code behind page. Now, suppose I call an Ajax function when user clicks on a new tab, then open the modal dialog from that ajax function. Then I have to return the value from that dialog boz to the axaj function and from there call a method of code behind page. This surely have to be done through server.aspx. Then there's no way except refreshing the page! Besides, when user presses on a new tab, the select tab event fires in code behind page; then how can I keep the run to that point till getting the result from server.aspx.
Could you provide me with more explanation with a sample code?


Thanks in advance,
