Creating a simple Alert / Success Message with ASP.NET/VB using Bootstrap

In your AddContact.aspx page use something like the following

      <div class="row-fluid">
            <div class="span6">
                <h2>New Contact</h2>
            </div>
            <div class="span6">
                <asp:Label ID="AlertWindow" Visible="false" CssClass="alert alert-success" runat="server"></asp:Label>
            </div>
        </div>

And in your AddContact.aspx.vb code use something similar to this.  Basically set the message for the alert window, make the alert window visible and set the approprate css style.  You can make this  alot cleaner with a set of classes to implement bootstrap for ASP.NET.  So this is just an example.

    ......
    ......
    AlertWindow.Visible = True
    Try
        ......
        sSQLQuery = "INSERT INTO......"
        ......
        AlertWindow.Text = "New Contact Added Successfully"
        AlertWindow.CssClass = "alert alert-success"
        ......
    Catch ex As Exception
        ......
        AlertWindow.Text = "ERROR: Record not created." & ex.Message.ToString
        AlertWindow.CssClass = "alert alert-error"
        ......
    End Try
        ......
