Close the browser

[Randy]

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to close the browser with out the IE security
message "The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window."
message. I know how to close the browser using Javascript (window.close())
but I would not like to get this message.
Is there a way to close it in C#?

Thanks

Controlling the browser is a client-side behavior, so you have to use
javascript. And whether or not you get those types of errors is entirely
dependant on the browser. Typically, you can close any window you open, but
not ones that the user has opened themselves.

Hello Randy,

Prior to calling window.close, set window.opener to a non-null value. Ex:

window.opener = this;
window.close();

though hopefully, IE will fix this security bug someday.
