Refreshing a page based on action in pop-up

nkrust · January 11th, 2007, 05:07 AM

Hi,
I have a .NET page from where i pop-up another .NET page. Now based on action on this page I need to refresh the parent page and close it. How can this be done. The code that i'm using:

Code:

popup.aspx
<h3>Add to My Reports:</h3>
            <div id="theList">
                <asp:ListBox ID="AllReports" runat="server" SelectionMode="Multiple" BorderWidth="0"
                    Width="538px" Height="600px" />
            </div>
            <div style="float: right; margin: 12px 12px 0 0;">

                <asp:ImageButton ID= "BtnAddReport" OnClick = "BtnAddReport_Click" 
                runat= "server" ImageUrl="imgs/addv4-blue.gif" height="32" width="105"
                AlternateText = "" />&nbsp;
            </div>
-----------------
popup.aspx.cs
protected void BtnAddReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MyReportTableAdapter myReportAdapter = new MyReportTableAdapter();
        AvailableReportsTableAdapter reportAdapter = new AvailableReportsTableAdapter();

        Int32 reportID;

        foreach (ListItem item in AllReports.Items)
        {
            if (item.Selected)
            {
                reportID = Int32.Parse(item.Value);
                myReportAdapter.AddReports(3, reportID);
            }
        }
    }

On the page you popup you can do something like this:

in the <body> of your popup place: onunload="window.opener.location.href="path/to/file";"

this will cause the parent page to refresh but if you want to do this all in one shot through code, build a string with the above value and add window.close(); then write it back to the client.

That will cause the popup to close and the parent page to refresh.

I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.

Hi dparsons,
The soln tht u suggested worked but if more than 1 item in the ListBox is selected then the parent page only shown 1 updated field although an F5 shows all the items, can u suggest something ..
