Hello Curt,

You can hook the OnClientColose to the RadWindow and refresh the page using document.location.reload().

function RefreshParentPage()//function in parent page

{

document.location.reload();

}

This function should be placed in the parent page - where your RadWindow / RadWindowManager is. This function should also be hooked to the RadWindow with the OnClientClose property.

If you want to put the refreshing code in the content page, you need to replace document with top. This way you will refer to the topmost page which will be the one from which you open the RadWindow.
e.g.

function closeWin() //function in content page

{

    var oWnd = GetRadWindow();

    oWnd.close();

    top.location.href = top.location.href;

}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello Stephanie,

It does not matter how the RadWindow is opened, what is important is that it has an OnClientClose handler that will refresh the page somehow (a call to __doPostBack(), window.location.reload() or the RadAjaxManager ajaxRequest() client-side method are some options). If you share the code that is causing problems on your end we could start investigating the case. In the meantime this demo shows the general approach in action. Note also how the AJAX settings are configured and make sure yours are proper as well.

Hello Stephanie,

At this point my best guess is that you get another RadWindow opened, not the one you expect. This can happen if you use radopen() and you have more than one manager on the page, then the first one is used, so a wrong instance may be created. Details on dealing with this situation are available here: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/radwindow-troubleshooting-wrong-window-opened.html.

If this is not your case I strongly advise that you post here the code that exhibits this problem so I can actually investigate it, instead of attempt to guess where the problem originates.

Hello Stephanie,

If an unexpected instance is opened it is possible that it simply does not have the needed handlers attached, which is why I asked you to check for this.

Another case where an OnClientClose handler has issues is when the AjaxControlTolkit assembly is present in the solution. It outputs modified MS AJAX scripts that break event handlers. Usually setting the DestroyOnClose property of the RadWindow to false alleviates this problem because it requires less handlers. If it does not - I advise that you test with removing the AjaxControlToolkit (delete the assembly, simply removing the reference may not be enough) to see if it helps.

If neither of these options help - I strongly advise that you share the code that leads to the problem so we can actually investigate it, instead of attempt to guess.
