please check this example:

__doPostBack();
If you need data from your client script code then use this:
__doPostBack('X','Y');
X --> This is some name you make up that allows you to identify what caused the post back on the server-side code.
Y--> This is the data you are passing back from your javascript. If you need more than one value passed back just separate the values with a comma or something. ie. '42,53' Then you can separate the string in your server side code.
The Server Side of things.
If you are only causing a post back then you don't need to worry about any server-side code. If you did pass data back put the following code in your Page_Load event and use the If statement to see what fired the post back since other controls will also use the javascript post back.
If Request.Form("__EVENTTARGET") = X Then
dim s as String = Request.Form("__EVENTARGUMENT")
'do something with your data
End IF
Hope this helps.
hello.
btw, x is normally used for sending the client id of the server side control that started the postback and y is used to send info associated with that action. for instance, if you have a button which has id bt, setting x to bt will automatically invoke a previouslly configured method on the server which was configured to handle the click event of that button.
