Closing the currently active window   

Hi,

I popupped a new asp.net window. Within it I want to display an explicit 
close button.  How .Net object can I call to close this popup window 
programmatically?

Please clarify what you mean by an "ASP.NET window" - do you mean a browser 
window...?

Assuming you do actually mean a browser window, you can't close it with .NET 
because that runs server-side. You'll need to use client-side JavaScript.

<input type="button" value="Close" 
onclick="window.opener=null;window.close();" />
