So I've used javascript to open a popup window in asp with c# codebehind, and I need a buttonclick event on the popup to both close the popup and refresh the parent page. Is there a method for this?

You can access
window.openerfrom within the popup sowindow.opener.location.reloadcould do the trick. – pimvdb Commented May 8, 2011 at 19:11

Reset to default 5To change the location/refresh the parent window you can use the opener property.
This one will change the href of the parent from the pop-up.
window.opener.location.href = the_url;
The reload method will work too,
This does a hard reload (returns forms to default values)
The optional boolean conditional argument will if true make a new request of the server, if false it will attempt to pull the page from the cache.
window.opener.location.reload(true);
If you want to preserve form data (soft reload), use the history method.
window.opener.history.go(0);
'0' causes the page to reload, a negative value represents how many steps backward you'd like to go.
Also try this
window.location.href=window.location.href
