Send value from child window to parent

[Joe]

I need to popup a window, allow the user to select an image, update the
parent window with this new value (requires a refresh) and then close the
child window.


Are there any examples of something similar to this?

Thanks,
Joe

If you use JavaScript to open a new window via the window.open method, you
can refer to the "parent" window via the window.opener object...

Hi Joe,

Basically, you will need to use JavaScript to open the new window, from the
new window, you can use 'window.opener' to reference the parent window and
make the parent page reload or navigate to another location.

In your case, I understand the popup window will let the user select an
image and the image will be needed to show on the parent with a reloading,
depend on your implementation detail, you could either reload the parent
page with a QueryString parameter (to the new image name) or first save the
new image name in backend (from the client page with a postback of this
page) and reload the parent page.

You can find an example to how to reload the parent page from the popup
window:

#Refresh a GridView control on the parent page, from a pop up window - The
