Using JavaScript Effectively in ASP.NET 2.0 - Part 1

(Satheesh Babu) JavaScript is one of the very versatile scripting languages that are used in Web applications. Even though we can accomplish everything in server side programming using C#, we can still prefer to do some of the things, like validations, etc., using JavaScript. In ASP.NET 1.x, we do not have that much support in the framework to hook JavaScript functions from the asp.net page dynamically. This drawback was addressed with the release of ASP.NET 2.0 by providing developers a lot of features to embed JavaScript blocks dynamically through a class called ClientScriptManager. I have divided this article into 2 parts. Part 1 will deal with 3 different methods that are packed with ClientScriptManager class with examples, while the Part 2 will discuss the left out methods with some other useful JavaScript tips for ASP.NET.
