How to call browser close event from code behind in asp.net

You cant...Don't waste your time...

Considered putting a method call in the onload event of the page you return? To do this, set the ID of your page's body tag to something like 'BodyTag', give it a 'runat="server"' attribute and then, in C# it would be:

BodyTag.Attributes.Add("onload", "window.close()");

This would close the browser as soon as the page is loaded, but! This is a very bad idea. This is a feature used by a lot of virus, malware and trojan distribution websites - you website will not be trusted and be very annoying if it closes a user's browser - 'the user (customer) ALWAYS knows best' as the saying goes, especially when it comes to closing their browser.

Hope this helps, even though I wouldn't consider using it :~

Just see EdMan196 or MatrixDud answer. Both are correct.Once it is loaded it automatically close the browser. However, I can't come up a scenario that anyone need such functionality.

You could close the browser window, but the user will get a warning message unless it's a window you opened.

The script would be

<script language="Javascript">
      window.close();
</script>

You could make it run be either setting the content of a asp.net label to be equal to that or response.write it or use RegisterStartUpScript

You cannot. Bad idea, anyway. The customer knows better when to close a Web browser window. Even if you managed to achieve what you want, people would not use your site! What, do you want to make your user furious?
