Auto Hide/Show DIV in asp.net [closed]

I assume you have created a div that contains controls relating to the users inbox, or a custom message.

Firstly, I suggest putting the controls in an asp:Panel, and not a . This is so you can hide and show the panel at any time.

Force the panel to be hidden on page load. Then, create a method in Page_Load or Page_Init to check when the user has a Message. If so, make the panel visible.

I am assuming you have the messages stored in some kind of DB (Database). If so, create a new column to the PrivateMessage table to save weather the user has read the PM or not. This will allow you to easily distinguish when to show the asp:Panel.

Use a float tag for the asp:Panel, then position it wherever you want it on the screen.

Without any of your source, or any information, this is the best I can give.
