            Response.Redirect(ResolveUrl("~/Reports/Transmittal/OverDueTransmittal/TransmittalReports_Form.aspx"));

currently alert is not shown but it redirects to the next page.if i remove the “Response.Redirect” part it shows the alert.how can i make both these to work at the same time?

Try this:

 ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "ss", "<script>alert('Report Data Not Found ! '); location.href = "/Reports/Transmittal/OverDueTransmittal/TransmittalReports_Form.aspx</script>", false);

You might need to tweak the URL a bit. Response.Redirect is a server-side redirect. You need a client-side one, initiated from JavaScript. Setting location.href will do it from JavaScript.
