Question

I'm developing a kind of framework that will work in web and win, so I have this interface:

public interface IViewsManager
{
    ...
    void ShowMessage();
    ...
}

The structure is like the following:

1) UI.Common
   a) IViewsManager
2) UI.Win
   a) ViewsManagerWin
3) UI.Web
   a) ViewsManagerWeb
4) UI.Controls
   a) PopupControlWin
   b) PopupControlWeb
5) Web Application

And from my web application I call the IViewsManager.ShowMessage, and depending on the enviroment it calls the appropiate popup control.

And I have the implementation for win that call a popup control from another dll. My problem is when I try to implement it for web enviroment, I have to call a popup control from another dll, and I would like to show the popup and the web page disables with a gray layer, and I don't know how to do it.

Please, any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The problem that you are facing is that showing a popup window in a web environment is not triggered from .NET code. It's actually triggered from javascript, so your logic is going to have to be on the client side in a javascript object.

If you want to show a popup, then I'd suggest that you need to look into using jQuery which has many handy popup utilities available[^].

Thanks for the answer. I think theres is a way to create controls from code behind and add it to the page, is that right? I'm trying to do something like that.
