How to Prompt User in Code

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I'm writing an ASP.NET (VB.NET) application. I have a situation where I need the user to respond to a prompt, but I need the code to stop executing until the user responds. If I use a ModalPopupExtender, the code continues executing and the prompt doesn't appear until the code is complete. I can't use a ConfirmButtonExtender because that is tied to a control and I need the user to be prompted without interaction on their part. Any ideas?

Instead of interrupting the code that way you can use the Wizard control where you can dynamically create the next step based on the previous user input. Hope that helps.

This is one of the valid approaches, my 5.
What is the idea of "prompt"? Something from the habit of writing only console applications?
Looks like a nonsense.
