javascript - How to make a simple yes/no popup in ASP.NET that return the result back to my c#?

Question

With ASP.NET, how do I prompt the user for a yes/no question and getting the result back to my .ascx?

So far I can open a confirmation dialog with use of Javascript, but I can't return the value. But I don't know if this is the right approach.

You can use standart JavaScript confirm() function to show popup and do Post Back in case of Yes or No. For example:

if (confirm('Question')) {
    __doPostBack('', 'Yes_clicked');
} else {
    __doPostBack('', 'No_clicked')
}  

Then on server in Page_Load() method do:

if (IsPostBack)
{
    var result = Request.Params["__EVENTARGUMENT"];
}

You can also do it async by specifying the first parameter of __doPostBack() function as ID of any update panel.
