Sending variable to a C# inside Javascript code

Question

Javascript Code:

function jsfunction ()
{
var sayi = 9999;
alert('<%= cfunction("'+sayi+'")%>');
}

C# Code:

public string cfunction(string gelen)
{
 return gelen;
}

Normally,There is should be 9999 value which is send to C# code from javascript code,but,this value returning as '+sayi+'. Also,that's gives me alert 9999.What am I wrong?

You are misunderstanding several things, but first of all, you code should not even compile. You are declaring the sayi variable in javascript, and consuming it in C# (between the <%= and %>). That is not possible, so where is sayi declared such that the C# code can see it? — Kirk Woll

By the time JavaScript runs, the C# code has already been executed. Learn you page life cycle.

If you want to call a serverside function to get data, you need to learn about Ajax.

C# (server-side) can generate markup for client side, client side can't call back up to server-side without some kind of Ajax type web request.

To do what you're looking for you can create a C# webmethod

[WebMethod()]
public static string cfunction(string gelen)
{
    return gelen;
}

And consume the webmethod with a client-side jQuery.ajax() method (You'll need the jQuery library script if you don't have it already)

function jsfunction() {
    var sayi = 9999;
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "YOUR-ASPX-PAGE.aspx/cfunction",
        data: "{gelen:'" + sayi + "'}",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function(msg) {
            alert(msg.d);
        }
    });
}

You can use scriptmethod attribute to invoke server side method from your javascript code. But you must understand the mechanism behind it so that u can debug and modify accordingly.
