i am having the code like the following

Public cs As ClientScriptManager

Public Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    cs = Page.ClientScript

    cs.RegisterArrayDeclaration("activArray", """asd"",""ert"",""sdt""")

End Sub


//"text/javascript"

function doInit() {

        alert(activArray.length)
}

while running these code,it shows an error Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'activArray' is undefined

Please help me to solve this error.Thank you

Maybe the doInit() JS function is defined before the the activeArray, you could look at the HTML source code to check –  Xharze Apr 16 '12 at 9:21
    
i tried inside other functions also. There also giving same error. –  nand Apr 16 '12 at 9:31
    
Could you post the HTML source code for the page? –  Xharze Apr 16 '12 at 9:55
    
hello Xharze, i tried the following,also gives same error <html> <head runat="server"> <script language ="javascript" type ="text/javascript"> function setActivity() { alert(Skills.length) } </script> </head> <body> <input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" onclick="setActivity();"/> </body> </html> Public Class test Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Page.ClientScript.RegisterArrayDeclaration("Skills", "'hel','wo'") End Sub End Class –  nand Apr 16 '12 at 10:36
    
Do you have a form tag on the page? With attribute runat="server"? –  Xharze Apr 16 '12 at 11:53

Just use \ to escape the array string like:

cs.RegisterArrayDeclaration("activArray", "\"asd\","\"ert\","\"sdt\"")

VB does not use ` escape characters, like c` or c#. –  Scott Sep 19 '12 at 10:38
