How to call javascript function from code-behind

Solution 1:

One way of doing it is to use the ClientScriptManager:

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(
    GetType(), 
    "MyKey", 
    "Myfunction();", 
    true);

Solution 2:

This is a way to invoke one or more JavaScript methods from the code behind. By using Script Manager we can call the methods in sequence. Consider the below code for example.

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, typeof(Page), "UpdateMsg", 
    "$(document).ready(function(){EnableControls();
    alert('Overrides successfully Updated.');
    DisableControls();});", 
true);

In this first method EnableControls() is invoked. Next the alert will be displayed. Next the DisableControls() method will be invoked.

Solution 3:

There is a very simple way in which you can do this. It involves injecting a javascript code to a label control from code behind. here is sample code:

<head runat="server"> 
    <title>Calling javascript function from code behind example</title> 
        <script type="text/javascript"> 
            function showDialogue() { 
                alert("this dialogue has been invoked through codebehind."); 
            } 
        </script> 
</head>

..........

lblJavaScript.Text = "<script type='text/javascript'>showDialogue();</script>";
