refresh base window from pop up window in asp.net

Question

I am opening a popup window B from page A using:

this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(  
      this.GetType(), 
      "JavaScript", 
     "myWindow=window.open('B.aspx',
     'WindowName',
     'copyhistory=no, 
     width=800, 
     height=300, 
     top=150, 
     left=50, 
     resizable=1, 
     scrollbars=1');
     myWindow.focus();", 
     true
);

I want to refresh page A whenever there is a change in popup window B.

Answer 1

There are many ways to do it:

<script>
    window.onunload = refreshParent;
    function refreshParent() {
        window.opener.location.reload();
    }
</script>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function refreshParent() {
  window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;

  if (window.opener.progressWindow)

 {
    window.opener.progressWindow.close()
  }
  window.close();
}
//-->
</script>

Call refreshParent on user actions as :

function refreshParent() {
     window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;
}
