Refresh sending page from modal dialog popup?

Question

I have a generic page below as a tester for refreshing the page from the closing of the Modal dialog window:

<%@ Assembly Name="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls"     Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="Utilities" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="asp" Namespace="System.Web.UI" Assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %>
<%@ Assembly Name="Microsoft.Web.CommandUI, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Main.aspx.cs" Inherits="Test_ApplicationPageRefresh.Layouts.Test_ApplicationPageRefresh.Main" DynamicMasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master" %>

<asp:Content ID="PageHead" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" runat="server">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" >



 function openCommentsDialog() {



     var options = {
         url: "/_layouts/PopOut.aspx",
         title: 'Pop Out',
         allowMaximize: false,
         showClose: true,
         width: 800,
         height: 330,
         dialogReturnValueCallback: Function.createDelegate(null, function (result, returnValue) {

             SP.UI.ModalDialog.RefreshPage(result);
             RefreshPage();
         }
     )
     };
     SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);




 }





 function ReloadPage() {
  window.location.reload();
 }





</script> 

</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Main" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">





Main Page

<input id="Button1" type="button" value="Press Me" onclick="openCommentsDialog();"/>
<asp:Label
ID="lblRefresh" runat="server" Text="Before"></asp:Label>
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="PageTitle" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
Application Page
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="PageTitleInTitleArea" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server" >
My Application Page
</asp:Content>

The delegate function never fires however and the page is never refreshed. I am wondering why the page never refreshes?

Try

var options = {
     url: "/_layouts/PopOut.aspx",
     title: 'Pop Out',
     allowMaximize: false,
     showClose: true,
     width: 800,
     height: 330,
     dialogReturnValueCallback: function (result, returnValue) {
           window.location.href = window.location.href;
     }     
 };

Notice that this will ALWAYS reload your parent windows regardless it was closed using a button or a close/cancel button. If you need to check how it was closed, use the SP.UI.DialogResult Enumeration. More here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff409060.aspx
