Question

What is the best way to close a browser window of an AJAX ASP.NET application after the server-side has been executed.

I found this solution, but it seems a little complex for what I want to accomplish. Or is this the best way to accomplish my task.

UPDATE: I have to close the window after the button is pressed

UPDATE 1: I tried the solution from the other SO question, and it did not work for me.

<asp:Button ID='btnMyButton' runat='server' onClick='btnMyButton_Click' />  protected void btnMyButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { } 

---

I used the following code in my page, but the ‘The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the windows’ module window pops up.

if (ScriptManager.GetCurrent(this).IsInAsyncPostBack)             ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(upApproveRequest, typeof(string), 'closeWindow', 'window.close();', true); 

Any way to prevent this?

Answer 1

No, there is no way to close a browser window without the user’s consent. You can log them out of their application, but you can’t forcibly close the browser window.
