If you are developing a secured site and want to close the browser window just after the user logout from the application, this small tip will help you. This is not a difficult job to implement. Just a single line of code will do the trick for you.
Use "
System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Invoke()
" method to call the Close() method of the browser window as shown in the below code snippet:
private void OnCloseClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Invoke("close"); }
The above code when called will close the browser window where your
Silverlight application is hosted. If it is a tab, it will close the
Window tab instead. If you are using it inside the Internet Explorer, it
will confirm you whether you really want to close the browser. If you
press "No", it will remain in that page and clicking "Yes" will close
the browser tab/window.
