Unfortunately, you can't. But what you can do is to close the current window and open your page in another window without toolbar and location. For example you can pass a queryString parameter that will tell your program to close the window and open another one.

Code:

Response.Write("<script language=javascript>window.open('YourPage.aspx', null, 'location=no;status=no;toolbar=no')</script>"); Response.Write("<script language=javascript>self.close()</script>");

is there any way of doing this without displaying a pop up message saying that the other window is closing?

try this out

Put the below in the new window opened

VB Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="EditPlus">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function closeMain() 
{
    window.opener.opener='stupid_machine';
    window.opener.close(); 
    window.close();
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
 
<BODY onLoad="closeMain();">
 
</BODY>
</HTML>
