This code was put inside masterpage. I had also use the exactly same code at other aspx file, and it work out fine apart from this..

    {
        string message = "Order Placed Successfully.";
        System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
        sb.Append("<script type = 'text/javascript'>");
        sb.Append("window.onload=function(){");
        sb.Append("alert('");
        sb.Append(message);
        sb.Append("')};");
        sb.Append("</script>");
        ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "alert", sb.ToString()); string script = "alert('abc');";

    }   

Answer 1

Try:

Page.ClientScript

instead to see if it makes a difference.

Answer 2

For cs file the sample is;

ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "{some text for type}", "alert('{Text come to here}'); ", true);

for masterpage cs the sample is;

Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "{some text for type}", "alert('{Text come to here}'); ", true);

Answer 3

On the master page try ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript() instead. Watch out, the signature slightly differs from Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock().
