Hi Larry,
This process sounds okay, except you would 'window.open("page2.aspx")' instead of page1.

>page1.aspx has datagrid and button and when the user click the button of page1.aspx i want to window.open("page1.aspx") then after closing the page2.aspx i want to refresh the datagrid from page1.aspx automatically just to see my entry in page2.aspx. (NOTE: I used session("myDS") as my container of table or temporary table or dataset).

>>From inside of Page 2 you could use your code below. Make sure your DataSet is small. You don't want to use up too many resources.
