Calling JavaScript function after ASP button postback arcgis JavaScript API

[ChristianDebono]

Basically I have an event on an ASP.Net button in an Update Panel which retrieves x and y coordinates from a database. Then I am populating a hidden field with these coordinates and I have a JavaScript function which displays points according to the coordinates retrieved from the database and stored in the hidden field. My problem is how do I call this function after the hidden field is populated, with out refreshing the page.

You should be able to set up a callback function for when you receive the x,y data from your database.
In this callback, trigger the display function.

Personally, I would use dojo/Deferred. http://dojotoolkit.org/documentation/tutorials/1.9/deferreds/

Thanks jonathan uihlein for your reply. I have solved this problem by calling the JavaScript function from the click event of the submit button in asp.net

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "key", "drawPoints();", true);

Great! I've not done much with ASP.net personally but this solution looks best for your app.
As long as getDraw() waits for the data from the database, you should have no issues.
