WebForm_DoCallback definition

Question

Is there a simple explanation on MSDN of WebForm_DoCallback function?

All I can find is this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163878.aspx which does include implementation of WebForm_DoCallback but doesn't do a good job explaining parameters themselves.

function WebForm_DoCallback(eventTarget, eventArgument, 
eventCallback, context, errorCallback) 

Like what exactly does it expect as an 'eventTarget'? What is 'context'? Etc...

Answer 1

Hey,

To what context do you need to use this with? The string is generated by the following method call in ClientScriptManager: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms153110%28v=VS.100%29.aspx

Using this is what you can use to produce the above statement, without having to know the details.

HTH.
