Put apostrophe in alert message

Question

I found out how to show an error message in the catch{} and it works like charm. But the app is french and I need to add an apostrophe (') in the message and it can't do it. I tried double apostrophe (''), the inverted slash before apostrophe (\'), the apostrophe in quotes ("''") and they don't work.

Here's the code for my error message.

catch
{
    ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(
        this, 
        this.GetType(), 
        "alertMessage", 
        "alert('Erreur lors de l'enregistrement de la demande.')", true);
}

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

you should be able to use a escape for this. Since you're calling it from the code behind a double escape:

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, this.GetType(), "alertMessage", "alert('Erreur lors de l\\'enregistrement de la demande.')", true);

to add a line break in the script a line escape should be added with a double escape:

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, this.GetType(), "alertMessage", "alert('Erreur lors de l\\'enregistrement de la demande.\\nLinebreak shizzle.')", true);
