Exit button - another newbie question

[tmryan]

Been a programmer for 10 years - but just getting my feet wet with ASP.Net and C#.

I have a web form that I want to close on the submit of an Exit button. Should that be handled from the aspx or the aspc.cs? Seemingly a simple task - but I can't figure out how to do it. I'm kind of guesing on the dispose() method - but haven't figured it out yet.

Any point in the right direction will be appreciated.
And yes - I am rtfm's. I'm coming up to speed.
Thanks

You might want to do something like this in the aspx page.

<input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;JavaScriptarent.window.close()&quot;>

This might tell the user that the page is trying to be closed though.

ecannizzo's right.

You (unfortunately) can't close a webform from code-behind. You still do have to resort to client-side scripting to acheive that functionality.
