you can't have msgBox....

The first thing to distinguish between is what is server side and what is
client side...

Server side is what is processed by the pc on which the website is hosted.
you can choose, for example, to have all the complicated algorithms here if
you know you've a beefy machine, but tihnk the people looking at the site
may have the first Pentium's. So you ask the server to do all the work, and
simply send the data to the client (viewer) which they then display.

Or you can decide that there'll be loads of people looking at a site, which
then causes you to think perhaps asking the client to do the work will speed
up the continual requests to the server.

What your msgbox command does is ask the server (realise that everything in
the code behind page is server side) to display a message box... so if you
were able to even get it to work, it would post a msgbox on the server's
screen in a building 5000 miles from the client, and the client would get
nothing.

good luck in your quest, i'm a relative newbie two (few months) to ASP and
..net, coming from VC++. Once you get your head around server/client and who
calls what etc, it gets easier.

Popping up a message box, means it would be popped up on the server. Not on
the client.

ASP.NET code in the end, builds some HTML, and sends that to the client. The
browser receives that, and displays it. Any client side scripts embedded in
the HTML are run.

So you would have to generate javascript, that would then get down to the
client (once the page was all done with the server side stuff), and then the
client would see the message box.
