Code Snippet: Client Message Box

Here's an extremely simple bit of VB.Net code that I've been using a lot lately for displaying a client-side message box on an Asp.Net page...

Private Sub MessageBox(ByVal strBoxName As String, ByVal strMessage As String)
    Dim strScript As String

    strMessage = strMessage.Replace("'", "\'")
    strMessage = strMessage.Replace(""", "\""")
    strMessage = strMessage.Replace(vbCrLf, "\n")
    strScript = "<script language='javascript'>alert('" & strMessage & "');</script>"

    Page.RegisterStartupScript(strBoxName, strScript)
End Sub

You can find a pretty good article about about using javascript to enhance your Asp.Net pages here.
