Closing browser window from server side in asp.net

[Guest]

Hi

I hope some one has an answer to this.

I have a button in an aspx page . On server click of this button, i perform
some operation. Once the operation is performed i want to close this window
automatically.

Pls help

i don;t think you can literally close a browser from a server side script.
what you can do instead is to pass a client side script after you've done
your process on the server side..

sample..
private sub Button1_Click()

--do your server side processing here.

--after you're done load the close window script
Dim strscript As String = "<script
language=javascript>window.top.close();</script>"
If (Not Page.IsStartupScriptRegistered("clientScript")) Then
Page.RegisterStartupScript("clientScript", strscript)
End If

end sub

hope this helps..

Since this came up first in google, I thought I'd post a quick update:

the 'newer' proper code is:

Dim strscript As String = "<script language=javascript>window.top.close();</script>"
If (Not ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered("clientScript")) Then
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(), "clientScript", strscript)
End If

works great in .net 3.5

Cheers.
