Postback to Parent Window

[chris.royle]

I have an ASP.NET application that has a gridview control on the main
window. When a user clicks on a button on the main window, a new
window is opened which allows them to search for a particular item
from a list. Once they have completed the search on this window they
click on the submit button.

I would like the application to close the search window, and change
the contents of the main window based upon this submission.

In other words, I want to pass control back to the previous or parent
window.

What is the best way of handling this?

If this does not give you enough information to get by, then let me know and
I can help further. This all really depends on what you're trying to
accomplish, however (how complicated the data is to pass back). Keep in mind
that you can easily communicate with the parent window through script.

Thanks Ben, works a treat. I will now implement this solution into my
application - thanks for the tip!
