This article describes how to run code on server-side that will in turn run specific commands on client-side.

protected void InvokeMethod(string strMember, params object[] arrArgs)

Protected Sub InvokeMethod(strMember As String, ParamArray arrArgs As Object())

protected void InvokeMethodWithId(string strMember, params object[] arrArgs)

Protected Sub InvokeMethodWithId(strMember As String, ParamArray arrArgs As Object())

Calling the following method from a Form or UserControl instance will cause the JavaScript function, the name of which is sent in the "strMember" argument, to be called, and sent the arguments contained in the "arrArgs" array.
Calling this method will do the same as calling the "InvokeMethod" method, but will also send as the last argument, the unique Visual WebGui ID of the Control

protected void InvokeScript(string strJavaScriptCode)

Protected Sub InvokeScript(strJavaScriptCode As String)

Calling the following method from a Form or UserControl instance will cause the JavaScript code in the "strJavaScriptCode" argument to be executed on the client.
This method was only implemented in Visual WebGui v6.4 Preview3.

Visual WebGui is a web development and deployment framework. Reaching server-side is a result of a request made by the client.
The server cannot reach the client or execute code on it, without completing the response for the client-initiated-request first.
As a result of this procedure, if you run an Invoke... command on the server and in the next server command (on the same method for example), you cannot expect the code on the client to be processes already. What actually happened in the previous command was the the invocation to the client was queued to be rendered to the XML sent to the client for processing, once the response is sent back.
