MS CRM 2011: How to refresh Associated or SubGrid from Ribbon button

First step is to create library that will contain JavaScript that will be executed when button is clicked:
OnRibbonButtonClicked = function(grid){
    //put your logic here

    //code that refreshes grid
    grid.refresh();
}

Create new command and configure action of created command. Key point here is to pass grid as a parameter of handler:
Click OK and define command for button:
