Question

There are two things I do not understand too well in this scenario

First, there is a javascript that is in this format

function Allocate()
{
    this.Name = $("allocateName");
    this.AddAllocation = $("addAllocation");
    this.setCustom= $("setCustom");
}
... some other initializations here
Allocate.prototype.EnableAllocations = function() {

 this.enableAllAlloactions();
 this.setCustomAllocations();
}

This is just an example, so is this some kind of class in Javascript? this is in a file called Allocate.js.

My questions are the following:

If I was to call the EnableAllocations in a Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(...); how would I do that?

Answer 1

You should instance the Allocate object, and call its EnableAllocations function.

  var alloc = new Allocate();
  alloc.EnableAllocations;

So you can create a string with tha code and pass it using like this:

  Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock("key",
     "var alloc = new Allocate();alloc.EnableAllocations;");

• NOTE: you can use this.GetType().FullName as key. You shouldn’t use the same key for different scripts.

This method is deprecated. Use ClientScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock Method instead (it depends on which version of the framework you’re using).

Finally, I don’t know which library you’re using, but the $() comes from some library. So there’s a dependency on that library, and also on allocateName, addAllocation and so on.. whatever they’re.
