Use this code to Clode Browser-

//FOR CLOSING BROWSER

string script = "window.opener = 'Self';window.open('','_parent',''); window.close();";
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "Close Window", scr, false);

TRy this and let me me know.

If you've ever tried to close a browser window from ASP.NET by using the following code:

<input type="button" class="inputfields"

 onclick="javascript:window.close();" value="Close" /></td>

You will probably receive the following message:

After digging around for 20 minutes or so, I finally found the answer on Anatoly Lubarsky's http://blogs.x2line.com/al/articles/350.aspx:

<input type="button" class="inputfields"
onclick="javascript:window.opener='x';window.close();" value="Close" /></td>

To close a parent window from a Child window simply write this

window.opener.close();

It will help

Thanks

Hi,

You can forcefully close browser window using C#

Closing a window causes the Closing event to be raised. If the Closing event isn't canceled, the following occurs:

    * The Window is removed from Application.Windows (if an Application object exists).
    * The Window is removed from the owner Window if the owner/owned relationship was established before the owned Window was shown and after the owner Window was opened.
    * The Closed event is raised.
    * Unmanaged resources created by the Window are disposed.
    * If ShowDialog was called to show the Window, ShowDialog returns.

Closing a Window causes any windows that it owns to be closed. Furthermore, closing a Window may cause an application to stop running depending on how the Application.ShutdownMode property is set.

Following code should be used to closed the browser windows forcefully

void fileExitMenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // Close this window
    this.Close();
}

void fileExitMenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // Close this window
    this.Close();
}

void fileExitMenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // Close this window
    this.Close();
}
