Hi Pat
Here is the Code which does that.
Assuming that you have completed the code for loading the data into the
DropDownList.
In the PopupWindow here is the algorithm to follow
if (isPostBack)
{
<Your Asp.Net code to insert the Record>
Response.Write "<script>window.opener.location.href='<aspxpage>'; </script>");
Response.Write ("<script>window.close();</script>");
}
From the above code current window will be closed and the parent page will
be refreshed and teh data will be loaded into the dropdown list.
I have complete set of code for reference. But I hope the above example does
the thing for you.

Thanks

Patrick- Looks like you will need to implement some javascripts. Have a look at this article on how to work with modal pop up windows- http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/Mo...asp?print=true

You can modify the scripts in the parent window to refresh after returning from child window.

Thanks,
