I Have a small working application on ASP.NET and C# and I would like to add some Javascript to it.

I know that for example I can use the Confirm button and then do something on yes or no.

What I would like to do is call some of the functions I have in the code-behind, depending on the answer to the Confirm Button.

How do I go about this? Many Thanks!

Simple.

Put a hidden div on your aspx page that contains button triggers to your methods:

<div style="display: none">
     <asp:Button ID="TriggerMethod1" runat="server" />
</div>

In your javascript, in the confirm part of your code simply do:

__doPostBack('TriggerMethod1', '');

And in your code-behind, handle up that button click to call Method1.

I personally use jQuery, and just trigger the click with: $("#TriggerMethod1").click();. – Scott May 12 '11 at 21:31

To call a server side method on a client side event you need to do the following:

1- Create the server side method:

void DoSomething(...) { ... }

2- Implement the System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent which take one string argument (You can assign the name to the value of this argument).: 

public void RaisePostBackEvent(string eventArgument) 
{
        DoSomething(...);
}

3- Write a script to trigger post back:

function TriggerPostBack(control, arg){
    __doPostBack(control, arg);
}

4- Call the PostBack trigger function when needed:

<a .... onclick="TriggerPostBack('control', 'arg')" .. />

I would create an ASHX handler file and post back to the hander using jQuery ajax methods.

See an article on this here:
