Running vbscript using C#

[xtraterrestrial]

Hi
I have some vbscript (a function) that I would like to call form the server side using C#. Can anyone let me know what method or how I can do this?

thanks in advance

since this is a client side function you can only call it client side. but the code that needs to call your function can be generated at runtime.

so you can simply write

Response.Write("<script language=vbscript> functionName() </code>");

this way, when the browser will render the zone of the page where this statement is written, it will execute your function. but make sure your function is declared in the head section of your page.

post back if you still need help.

What if I wanted to call that function on an event. I.e. I click on a server side .NET button. I tried adding it to the "onClick" event of the HTML tag but it doesn't recognize the function name.

Is it even possible to do this?

just like I told you before, you can do this by writing the following line in the button event:

Response.Write("<script language='VBScript'>functionName()</script>");

but be aware that this will mean a roundtrip to the server. to do this on client side only, use this in C# (probably in the Form_Load event)

serverButtonName.Attributes.Add("onClick", "functionName(); return false;");
