Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to have message boxes in a Web Application in C# .NET 2003.

It is to make the user confirm his action, or refuting it (like: OK, NO and Cancel).

(I've seen the messagebox library of windows applications but it just don't want to work on a web application.)

Thanks,

Oren.

It's not going to work in a web application. Not the way you mean, anyway. When you call MessageBox.Show inside a web application, the MessageBox will pop up (if your app has UI Permissions) on the server, not the client.

If you want messageboxes in a web application, you could use javascript (although that's rather limited), or you could use some sort of DHTML message box, such as iBox

Look into Javascript, specifically, window object of the HTML DOM. showModalDialog or showModelessDialog. There are other techniques for custom dialogs, but anything in the Windows.Forms realm isn't going to work from server to client through a browser.

    • More gamers are switching to Windows 11, according to Valve

      By Epaminombas · Posted

      Just because Windows 10 will stop receiving updates doesn't mean your Windows 10 installed there will stop working. There are people with iPhone 8/9/10 that are still working, even without updates. There are people with Android 8/9/10 that are still working even without receiving any updates for over 5 years. There are people with Windows 7 and 8 that are still working for over 10 years. And most people install Windows and disable updates, so there are still a lot of people running Windows 10 without improvements and security updates for over 10 years.

      Windows 10 EOL is coming, so how many is “forced”? (to be prepared and not wait until the last moment in October?)
    • SteamOS falls to lowest adoption level in years as Steam on Linux use rises

      I guess more Windows users are switching on their desktops/laptops than people buying new Steam Decks. I wouldn't be surprised. Deck doesn't have the mainstream appeal of other handhelds, usually people who would want one already have one. Glad to see Linux go up!

      Any news about Windows and Microsoft always brings up crazy people saying; - Windows 11 is terrible, it destroys my hardware, it had sex with my wife, it told the FBI that I visit shemale sites, it collects my data where I get illegal anime. Never use Windows 11, go for Linux and it will never have sex with your wife.
