I think If you use a LinkButton then you can achieve this.

No you can't!
Workaround of this will be to pass some argument to page and after trapping that argument at server side..and then calling desired function. Here is the code snippet:

Understanding that you have Do_Insert as server side, implement your code like this:
'finishes server processing, returns to client.

VB

Dim strScript As String = "<script language='JavaScript'>"
strScript += "if(confirm('" & strMessage & "')) {TestServer()} else{return false}"
strScript += "trScript += "script>"
RegisterStartupScript("confirm", strScript)

<pre lang="Javascript">function TestServer()
{
document.Form1.action=’YourPage.aspx?action=TestServer’;
document.Form1.submit();
}

Now this way you are indicating your page that required action to perform. Now in Page_Load event:

VB

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
If (Request.QueryString["action"] != null)
{
If (Request.QueryString["action"] == "TestServer")
{
TestServer();
}
}

//rest of your code..
}

Solution 3

ASP.NET

<a href="default.aspx" runat="server" id="anchor1"> Click here </a>

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    anchor1.ServerClick +=new EventHandler(anchor1_Click);
}
protected void anchor1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Write("<script>alert('hello')</script>");
}
