I hope ,you have downloaded above jQuery library for referencing a page because whenever we use any jQuery code then it must to give the jQuery library file reference into the page.

Let us Create the web application in asp.net to demonstrate the requirement by creating the web application as

1. “Start” – “All Programs” – “Microsoft Visual Studio 2010”

3. Give the web site a name, such as Validation or whatever you wish and specify the location
4. Then right-click on the solution in the Solution Explorer then select “Add New Item” – “Default.aspx page”.

I hope,you have created page now,let us create the Jquery function to disable the mouse write click as:

$(function()
{
  $(this).bind("contextmenu", function(e) {

Note

It’s not better to give the alert message after right click because we are disabling right click because of mouse for  security purpose and by showing alert message we exposing our own  security by telling hacker or spammer i have disabled right click ,so always avoid right click alert message.
