Examples

If the ECMAScript written in the code declaration block has not already been registered, as determined by IsClientScriptBlockRegistered, then a RegisterClientScriptBlock call is made.

Remarks

Call this method before calling Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock to avoid unnecessarily assembling the client-side script. This is particularly important if the script requires a large amount of server resources to create.

The IsClientScriptBlockRegistered method has been deprecated. Use the IsClientScriptBlockRegistered method in the ClientScriptManager class.
