ASPX webform Bootstrap toast Auto hide not working in updatepanel

All I am using Bootstrap Toast to display alert messages. But the issue I am getting is to hide them automatically.

I tried with and without data-bs-autohide="true" data-bs-delay="3000" but no success.

The tricky part is I am creating this toast in Code behind and appending it to the aspx page control.

I tried static code in HTML, but it still did not work.

I believe it's due to asp:UpdatePanel

Here is my code.

How can I make it auto hide?

page.aspx

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
    <div class="container body-content pt-3 mb-3">

        <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel4" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <div class="col-md-12">
                    <div runat="server" id="alertParent" class="toast-container position-fixed top-0 end-0 p-3">
                    </div>
 <asp:Button ID="Button1" CssClass="btn btn-primary" CausesValidation="false" OnClick="Button1_Click" runat="server" Text="Show" />
                </div>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>
    </div>
</asp:Content>

page.aspx.cs

protected void ShowAlertMessage(string tstr, string Header = "")
{
    try
    {
        //Header = string.IsNullOrEmpty(Header) ? "Error" : Header;

        alertParent.Visible = true;
        alertParent.Style.Add("z-index", "3");

Bootstrap Toasts must first be initialized

As noted in the Bootstrap 5 documentation, "Toasts are opt-in for performance reasons, so you must initialize them yourself."

To initialize the new Toast from the ASPX C# code behind we can add an ID and use ScriptManager to call Bootstrap methods. We need to both initialized the Toast and show it for the autohide to work.

C# Code

div.ID = "toast-1";
var script = $"bootstrap.Toast.getOrCreateInstance(document.getElementById('{div.ID}')).show();";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, Page.GetType(), "text", script, true);

Complete Demo

The demo has been tested in Visual Studio. Clicking the button creates a new Toast component as in the original. However, it then uses ScriptManager to initialize and show the Toast. The Toast displays for 3 seconds and then automatically hides.

// C# code Page.aspx.cs 

using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

public partial class Page : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void ShowAlertMessage(string tstr, string Header = "")
    {
        try
        {
            alertParent.Visible = true;
            alertParent.Style.Add("z-index", "3");

            var div = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
            div.Attributes["role"] = "alert";
            div.Attributes["aria-live"] = "assertive";
            div.Attributes["aria-atomic"] = "true";
            div.Attributes["data-bs-autohide"] = "true";
            div.Attributes["data-bs-delay"] = "3000";

            var Child_div = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
            Child_div.Attributes["class"] = "toast-header";

            var Sub_Child_1 = new HtmlGenericControl("strong");
            Sub_Child_1.Attributes["class"] = "me-auto";
            Sub_Child_1.InnerHtml = Header;

            var Sub_Child_2 = new HtmlGenericControl("span");
            //Sub_Child_2.Attributes["type"] = "button";
            Sub_Child_2.Attributes["class"] = "btn-close";
            Sub_Child_2.Attributes["data-bs-dismiss"] = "toast";
            Sub_Child_2.Attributes["aria-label"] = "Close";

            Child_div.Controls.Add(Sub_Child_1);
            Child_div.Controls.Add(Sub_Child_2);

            var Child_div_2 = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
            Child_div_2.Attributes["class"] = "toast-body";

            div.Controls.Add(Child_div);
            div.Controls.Add(Child_div_2);

            string sFlag, smessage;
            if (tstr.Length == 0)
                return;

            string[] words = tstr.Split('_');
            sFlag = words[0];
            smessage = words[1];
            switch (sFlag)
            {
                case "warning":
