i have placed a ribbon button on a home page of custom entity. my requirement is to refresh the home grid after certain operations, Since i did not found any supported way . i go with reloading the whole CRM through window.top.location.reload(true); But can anyone say is this "window.top.location.reload()" supported if not please suggest me with any alternatives.

Hi thanks, For your prompt responses, however i am looking for supported way of customization since i am designing app for Microsoft app-source.
Hi Vijay ,
Seems there is no supported way you can do this , either you need to reload , redirect with current URL or you can achieved this using accessing DOM.
So as per Microsoft all are unsupported , so to fulfill customer requirement you need to choose right approach to deal with the requirement .
For me Andreas answer is correct , by doing this your page wont be reload and customer will accept this easily as by doing this your page will not reload completely and its internally calling supported method , you just need to do null check to get the control that's all.
But if you write like window.top.location.href = "url" or window.top.location.reload() your page will reload completely which is at all not a good solution.
There is another approach here:

it is not supported but if thats a must-have requirement you might need to deal with it the right way. So add the appropriate try catch block and be aware that with future releases your scripts might not work.
