calling asp.net code behind function from window.onload javascript function

[akg]

Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement like below. In my asp.net(C#) code behind file "MyPage.aspx.cs " file I have a function like below:

void PopulateAccount (int AccountNumber)
{
this.AccountNum ber.Text = AccountNumber;
}

I want to call this function from JavaScript (inside the window.onload function) from my MyPage.aspx page, something like below:

window.onload = function()
{
// I need to call my PopulateAccount method inside this function so that it can populate the AccountNumber Text Box
}

is this possible ?. Please help me how to do this . I am using ASP.Net 1.1 with C#.



Thanks and Regards,
Amit

You can call server-side code on the client side using AJAX. See the AJAX links in the Offsite Links thread.

Those are tutorial links. Read through them and try them out. They should help you understand ajax. For your problem, create a server-side (C#) file which outputs the result of the function. Then make a request using XMLHttp calling that file with the correct parameters.

One other alternative is to use ASP.NET AJAX.

If you have problems, post your code here.
