Question

When my Login button is clicked, if the login was successful I’d like to close the browser.

protected void btnLogin_Click(object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e)
{
 if (isAuthenticated)
{
// close the browser
}
}

I’m not using AJAX so this happens on code behind.

How to send a command (or a javascript call) to the browser to close itself using C# and perhaps using Response… object?

thanks,

UPDATE on the Answer (it closes without warning):

const string scriptKey = "closeBrowser";
            if (!ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered(scriptKey))
            {
                ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), scriptKey, "javascript:setTimeout('parent.Shadowbox.close();', 1000);", true);
            }

The following can be ran server side to add window.close() javascript method to your client script. However, the results of this will depend on your browser.

ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "CloseScript", "window.close();", true);
