I am trying to show a alert box for an error.

Here is the part of the code:

XML

Catch ex As Exception
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.GetType(), "ExceptionMessage_AuditMain4", "<script type='text/JavaScript'>alert( '" + ex.Message + "');</script>", True)
Finally

But it doesn't display the alert message. The message is being called from a selected index change of a dropdownlist with autopostback enabled

Page has ajax update panels and I have step through the code to ensure the block is being tripped (executed).

Using a partial page update, such with an UpdatePanel, you are not getting the full page life cycle and the script is not being injected into the response stream.

A more common approach is to pass the information back to the client via the javascript callback function and display any error messages there.
