Executing JavaScript from the server code in asp.net

Question

Here is what I need to do: I need to execute some server side code after a user clicks on a button, THEN I need to execute some client side code. OnClientClick gets invoked BEFORE the onClick; and what I need is the opposite.

Is there a way to do this? It looks like I will have to execute JS code from the server code.

Have the onClick do a synchronous AJAX call to the server as its first step. That ajax call will block the client until the call returns. Then things can continue with the client-side code. — Marc B

My instinct says you can make the server side call using AJAX and then fire off a client side event once the request is complete. But, I say that not knowing how your project is setup. Strictly speaking, there's no way to make client calls from the server. (but you can usually fake it) — clifgriffin

You could use RegisterStartupScript in the code behind of your app.

This would place the javascript code you need to be called in the body.onload event.
