I have the following code which should call a function called ShowPopup in my client side script but for reason, when I call this function nothing happens.
string pg = "Test";
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Popup", "ShowPopup(pg);", true);
If I do the following:
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(
this.GetType(), "Popup", "ShowPopup('Test');", true);
it works fine. It does show up in the popup. Any idea what I may be doing wrong.
The problem is ShowPopup is expecting a string value.
string pg = "Test";
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Popup",
string.Format("ShowPopup('{0}');", pg), true);
About C# code will generate the following valid javascript -
<script>
ShowPopup('Test');
</script>
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Popup",
"ShowPopup(pg);", true);
Notice that above code C# will generate the following invalid Javascript -
<script>
ShowPopup(pg); // Invalid Javascript code
</script>
If you Used Update Panels Then You can Use:
string pg = "Test";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "alert('"+pg+"');", true);
Other Wise You can Use
string pg = "Test";
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript
(GetType(),Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "alert('"+pg+"');",true);
in your case
string pg = "Test";
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript
(GetType(),Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "ShowPopup('"+pg+"');",true);
You can also use String interpolation:
string pg = "Test";
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Popup", $"ShowPopup('{pg}');", true);
