Answer 1

Regular Page

public void ErrorTrap(string str)
{
   Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "alert" + UniqueID, 
     "alert('" + str + "');", true);
}

Ajax Page

You need to use ScriptManager if you use ajax.

public void ErrorTrap(string str)
{
   ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "alert" + UniqueID, 
      "alert('" + str + "');", true);
}
