Hi, when I click a Search button, must open a new window wich will list all 
the customers on a grid, and the user can search, etc, but when the user 
choose the customer, the window must be closed and returned to the original 
window with the customer ID selected by the user...

How can I do that? any examples? Im using VS 2005 C# .net 2.0...

Thanks

Hi Paulo,
you have to use javascript. On the search button use something like 
OnClientClick="javascript:OpenMyWindow(); return false;"

Now you have to define two javascript functions OpenMyWindow and UpdateValue 
function. 
function OpenMyWindow() {
  window.open("~/Customers.aspx", other params to set up your new window);
}

function UpdateValue(returnCustomer) {
  var customerTextBox = document.getElementById('customerTextBox');
  customerTextBox.Value = returnCustomer; // updates value in some html 
textbox

  // you will probably have to refresh value here
  if (document.createEvent) {
    var onchangeEvent = document.createEvent('HTMLEvents');
    onchangeEvent.initEvent('change', true, true);
    customerTextBox.dispatchEvent(onchangeEvent);
  }
  else {
    customerTextBox.fireEvent('onchange');
  }
}

Customers.aspx will handle your grid with customers. You also need to 
implement return mechanism on this page. Say for example if user select row 
in grid it will return customer name back to previous window. You again need 
to use javascript:

function Done(returnValue) {
  window.opener.UpdateValue(returnValue); // calls UpdateValue defined in 
previous window
  window.close();
}

I don't say it will work exactly as I have described but at least it gives 
you an idea.

Ladislav
