Answer 1

Strange message, can you try the following:

System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
sb.Append(@"<script language='javascript'>");
sb.Append(@"alert(' No data in the database  ');");
sb.Append(@"</script>");

If (Not ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered("JSScript")) Then
        ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "JSScript", sb.ToString());

Answer 2

This works for me:

Dim js As String = "alert('TGIF!!.')"
ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.Page, Me.GetType, "popup", js, True)

Answer 3

I know this is an old tread but thought i would mention that i had the same problem using code from a .net 3.5 in 2.0, So it is finding a different definition of ScriptManager that is not the same as what I needed.

Once i changed the project to 3.5 it worked fine.
