    Hi,

    I explain my situation.

    User can create contact.  If a contact already exist in database with the same first name and the same last name I have to ask if he want to continue anyway.  If yes, contact is save, if no cancel.

    So I have to query database on the event EntityDataSource Inserting.  I know how to verify but I don't know how to ask confirm and continue or not.

    Could you help me?

    No way. 

    On the server side is no person to answer .

    You should do on  front-end, with javascript window.confirm

    Hi,

    You can't trigger a client side dialog while your code is still running server side to create the response to the current http request (the web is based on a request/response model). Usually it is best done as early as possible ie here I would do likely something such as :
    - when submit happens cancel it and doing an Ajax call that will tell me if the first/last name is unique
    - if yes I then trigger the final submit
    - if not I ask confirmation and I trigger the final submit depending on the user response

    And so during the final submit the uniqueness problem has been dealt with already.

    Hi miniil02,

    If you want to  the user to know that the username has existed  when he enters his username, you could use client side ajax .

    Below is my code.

     <script src="../Scripts/jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-WskhaSGFgHYWDcbwN70/dfYBj47jz9qbsMId/iRN3ewGhXQFZCSftd1LZCfmhktB" crossorigin="anonymous">
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server" class="form-inline">
        <div>

           
         <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-3">Username</label>
             <asp:TextBox ID="username" runat="server" CssClass="form-control col-6" ></asp:TextBox>
     
    </div>

    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="col-3">Email address</label>
        <asp:TextBox ID="email" runat="server"  CssClass="form-control col-6"></asp:TextBox>

    </div>
        
         <asp:Button runat="server" Text="submit" CssClass="btn btn-primary"/>
        </div>


     <script>
         $("#<%=username.ClientID%>").blur(function () {
           
              $.ajax({
            
                    url: '/Services/myWebService.asmx/getUsername',
                    type: "post",
                    dataType: "json",
                  contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                  data: '{ "username":"'+$(this).val()+'" }',
                  success: function (data) {
                  
                          if (data.d == "No") {
                     alert("do you want to add a user who has exsited");
                 }
                    }
                });
       
         })
     </script>

    Code behind.  To enable client side to call webservice , please uncomment the code  above the asmx file.

    //[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
      [WebMethod]
        public string[] getUsername(string username)
        {
            string[] allUsers = new string[] { "Helen", "John", "Jerry", "Nancy" };
            if (allUsers.Contains(username))
            {
                return new string[] { "No" };
            }
            return new string[] { "Yes" };
        }

    The result.

    Best regards,

    Ackerly Xu

    function confirm_meth()
