I have an aspx page with a form that gets submitted. I need to open a window when the form gets submitted (with something like "Stand By while we process your request...") -- this is done. What I can't figure out, however, is how I can close this window after all my server code has been run. With ASP, it was easy, because I just put the client script in between %> <%. With code behind, I'm stumped. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

You can still use Response.Write() in .net. Response.buffering is turned on by default with ASP.net so you'll need to make sure that it's turned off before you can get chunks of script to the browser without finishing processing the whole page.

You could also use a literal to do this. Place the literal at the end of your page. In your code behind in the Page_Load, something like:

'Process all of your code

ltrlName.Text = "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=""JavaScript"">" _
& "<!-- " _
& "window.close();" _
& "//--></SCRIPT>"

Thanks for the great information! My challenge is that I need to open/close a separate window, like so:

1) Page A opens Page B <-- this is done, no problem
2) Page A runs some server code <-- this is done
3) Page A closes Page B <-- this is what I can't figure out

Thanks again.

Aha... this is easy.

On Page A, when you open the window, save a reference to it...

var m_winPageB = window.open(...);

Then when the Page A server code is done, you write out more script:

m_winPageB.close();
