Injecting Client-Side Script from an ASP.NET Server Control
While, technically, all of a Microsoft ASP.NET server control’s functionality can be performed on the server-side, often the usability of a server control can be greatly enhanced by adding client-side script.

My colleagues and clients were tough and fast-moving and wanted only answers. Quickly. I had to know my product and have my sales skills down pat. Smile and dial. Come in with a great opening. Wow them with sexy stocks and great numbers. Be clever and charming, and let the buyer think he was calling the shots. My opening line was “Hi, Mr. Jones.
