Where are you using this code? If you are running it any other place like console or win forms you should use SPWeb OpenWeb method. --- Rajesh MVP

The string.format(IFormatprovider, string, object) overload method could help you format you date as you wish take a look on that link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1ksz8yb7.aspx[^]

You can expose it as a property. This is more efficient than using FindControl since it won't have to search through the control heirarchy. public String MyTextBox { get { return txtPolicyNumber.Text; } set { txtPolicyNumber.Text = value; } }

Thank you very much! It works!

return statement is to avoid PostBack. "When I click button 1 the label's text changes but immediately reverts back to it's original value." this is because of PostBack Raju.M

You see this form is supposed to run on server side. So it'll try to call procedures on the server and not the client. If you want to perform this task, you have some options like: write a function in C# on server side like this public void Hello() {MessageBox.Show("Hello World")} or do not use an asp button. Use HTML button like or as said by somebody above, you can use onClientClick event handler.. Hope this will clarify all your doubts Don't forget to rate the comments

Yes, thanks. I've managed to make it work.

Please use PRE tags to format your code part. It really helps everyone to read and answer questions.

This means you have not taken care of the control names in Javascript. Once you put the control in a user control, a string would append at the start of your control name. This new ID which can be found out easily using a ViewSource of your webpage, must be used in Javascript to access it. Hardus Lombaard wrote: . I can’t even insert a breakpoint into the javascript function to debug it. Why so? You can put "debugger;" at the start of function and enable Javascript debugging in your IE settings! You are all set to debug it now.

Any idea how to do this in ASP.NET?

If the user then interacts with the form either by dragging one of the datagridview scrollbars or pressing a button, the program becomes unresponsive You need to use Background worker in this case, which will help you show the progress of process with out any problem.
