Opening a child page and doing some operations and return back to the parent page

I was given a task in my asp.net project that when I click on an item of a grid view the item details will be displayed in another child page and then some changes will be accepted on that child page and finally I have to close the child page and refresh the parent page.

For the task I used javascript. I searched the internet and got many solutions. I tried several and finally I got my solution. I am sharing with you my solution.

I wrote the following code in my parentpage.aspx
<script type="text/javascript">
function openNewChild(itemcode) {
var myvar = window.open('./childpage.aspx?ItemCode='+itemcode,'test','titlebar=0, toolbar=0, location=0, height=280');
}
</script>

I also need a TemplateField item in my grid view  to show the Item link which look like this:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Item Name" SortExpression="ItemName"><EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ItemName") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ItemName") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("ILCode", "javascript:openNewChild(\"{0}\")") %>'>
</asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>

<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
</asp:TemplateField>

And in the my childpage.aspx  I took and button and On its click event I used the following code:

protected void btnUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (CheckValidation() == true)
{
SaveData();
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(), "test", "<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>alert('Updated successfully.');window.close();window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location;</script>");
}
}

The Save Data function does my neccessary job for updating my database. the ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript() method closes the child window and the reloads my parent page.
Thats all :)
If you have any question feel free to ask me. I’ll try answer your question and I am also sorry for my bad English.
