How to close browser?

[d_danturthi@hotmail.com]

I have an ASP.NET with C# application and want to close browser window with
click of a button (or link). One can do this with

Response.Write("<script>window.close()</script>");

But this does NOT work if the smartnavigation property of the webform is
set to TRUE.

Does anyone know how to close a browser window in C# with ASP.NET? Please
do NOT suggest java scripting/cookie etc. There must be no cookies attached
and all code is server side. Yeah, it is bad idea but let it go that way
for now. Thanks in advance.

It's not possible without client-side script (like your first try uses). How
can code that runs on your server tell a user's web browser what to do? All
your C#/ASP.NET code does is produce HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; IE doesn't
understand C#.

FYI - current versions of IE will ask for confirmation if you try to close
the browser window from script.
