not really  Server side code is happening on the server--- you can use javascript to display something to the user on the client side  but it obviously will only execute on the client side  This is the nature of a client server web technology  You re basically disconnected from the server when you get your response

As others already pointed out  a message box will be clientside Javascript  So the problem then is how to force a clientside JS message box from the server side  A simple solution is to include this in the HTML    lt script gt      var data     lt    JsData   gt        alert data    lt  script gt    and to fill this data from the server side code-behind   public partial class PageName   Page       protected string JsData    your message     Note that the string value should be a Javascript string  i e  be a one-liner  but it may contain escaped newlines as  n   Now you can use all your Javascript or JQuery skills and tricks to do whatever you want with that message text on the clientside  such as display a simple alert    as shown in the above code sample  or sophisticated message box or message banner    Note that popups are sometimes frowned upon and blocked   Note also that  due to the HTTP protocol  the message can only be shown in response to an HTTP request that the user sends to the server  Unlike WinForm apps  the web server cannot push a message to the client whenever it sees fit   If you want to show the message only once  and not after the user refreshes the page with F5  you could set and read a cookie with javascript code  In any case  the nice point with this method is that it is an easy way to get data from the server to the javascript on the client  and that you can use all javascript features to accomplish anything you like
