How to close window on browser (ASP.NET MVC)

Question

Good day!

EDIT: I have simple static site and script in it: when i press Cntrl-Enter- open popup window.And then after press -Submit- i send post request into my mvc app.

I write simple asp mvc app , result of it work- send message at opened popup window:All done.Press button to close it".

Return result into this window:

public ActionResult Index()
    {
        ViewBag.Message = "Modify this template to jump-start your ASP.NET MVC application.";
        Response.CacheControl = "no-cache";
        Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
        Response.Expires = -1;
        Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");

        return View();
    }

How i try to close this window on client:

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnCloseForm()
{

    this.window.close();
}

But i cant do that! I know,that i should use window.open() and then i can do window.close(). But how to close popup window at my case?

Thank you!

P.S. Unfortunatelly- window.close() not works.

You should just call window.close() (without the this in front)
