Hi,
I am opening a popup(a popup page) window from a page through window.open now I want that when I close that popup window at the same time a method on parent page should be called? I m using this code to open popup

string newPage = "TestPopUp.aspx";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, GetType(), "onClick", "window.open('" + ResolveClientUrl(newPage) + "', 'UpdateRecord', 'toolbar=no,location=center,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=500,height=300,top=200, left=200');", true);

and this code to close popup

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, this.GetType(), "onAddNew", "window.close();", true);

Now tell me can I call my server side parent page method BindGridview() at the time of closing this popup.
Thanks in advance.

try this..

In your child window write one javascript function for close..

JavaScript

function close()
{
     window.opener.location.href = 'http://parentPage.aspx?fromChild=1';
     self.close();
}

call this function on close..

C#

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, this.GetType(), "onAddNew", "close()", false);

In your parent page PageLoad check the query string..

C#

if(Request.QueryString["fromChild"]=="1")
{
    BindGridView();
}

hope this helps..

this solution is not working when I click on update button to close popup. The pop up is not closed rather a string "close()" is appeared on the popup screen :(

It is working somewhat and PageLoad of parent is being called when popup is closed but now it keeps executing PageLoad in a loop again and again. and giving this error "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Permission denied" and javascript message box appears of "Stack Overflow" ????

use this inside "Not PostBack" IF Statement..

C#

if(!IsPostBack)
{
   if(Request.QueryString["fromChild"] != null && Request.QueryString["fromChild"]=="1")
   {
      BindGridView();
   }
}
