Linkbutton, Target="_blank"
-
Hello, I have a couple of link buttons and I am trying to get them to open a page in a new window. I know how to do this with a normal link, but I also have some very simple code behind that I need to run (Set a session variable). I am writing this in C#, and have had no luck getting the page to open with the session variable passed. Let me know if you have any suggestions, or if you know how to do this through a normal link. Thanks for your time. C# Code
protected void lnkEnterprise_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session["Owner"] = 1;
Response.Redirect("~/SampleDashboardDetails.aspx");
}JM

Well, this is your problem. Obviously, given how ASP.NET works, redirecting in your C# code can never open a new window, that's just impossible. You need to open a new window in your client side code.

I agree with you, and I would write some small javascript to do this, but I need to pass that session variable as well. The page I am trying to open has a gridview that has a session variable parameter as an input, so I need to pass the session before the page loads so that the gridview is immediately populated.

javascript:window.open('SampleDashboardDetails.aspx', ...)is the only option to you. You have to do this from client side as Christian suggested. you can usethis.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "aa", "window.open(...);", true);to write the script response to the client. :)Abhishek Sur

how about using
this.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "aa", "window.open(\"yourpage.aspx?s=" + Session["val"].ToString() + "\");", true);
means passing through querystring?

So I'm a little confused, does
this.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "aa", "window.open(\"~/SampleDashboardDetails.aspx?s=" + Session["Owner"].ToString() + "\");", true);go on the page I am trying to open in the page load? Thanks. JMI found a solution. I ended up changing the link buttons to links and passed a variable through the link, then grabbed the variable and stored it to the session variable I was using in a Page_PreInit function. Send it from first page: Receive on second page:
protected void Page_PreInit(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session["Owner"] = Request.QueryString["Owner"];
}Thanks for your help guys.
