Make use of Javascript. window.open() would help you solve this.

hi vadivel..

I am presuming that .. you are looking for the syntax of using window.open!

It is window.open(PageName, WindowName, FeatureList).

Sample:
window.open("welcomepage.aspx") will do.

Some of the featureList which comes to my mind now are as follows:
status, toolbar, location, menubar, resizable, scrollbars, height, width etc.,

Sample 2:
window.open("dummypage.aspx", "testwindow", "location=1, width=200, height=150")

-- This new window would be of size 200x150 and it will have a location bar in it. Hope this helps!!

1. Why do you want to have a server side button for this?

Anyway, just make use of attributes.add to overcome this. Something like this, button.attributes.add("onclick","window.open('.... ');")

2. FYI, you can fire the new window from html itself ... sample is provided below. I have written for <a href> ... you can change it according to your need.

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
            <input name="txtSearch type="text" />
            <a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('/default.aspx','NewWindow','width=154,height=188'); NewWindow.focus()">Search</a>
     </form>

Hi Suneeta,

Hope this can help you.

Just after your </form> in your aspx page, put this
<script language="javascript">
<asp:literal runat="server" id="ltScript"></asp:literal>
</script>


in your code


private void Button2_Click(object sender, ByVal EventArgs e)
{
     Literal ltScript = (Literal) Page.FindControl("ltScript");
     ltScript.Text = "window.open('welcomepage.aspx')";
}

sorry I am not familiar with the VB.Net code

The other mistake in your code is you have used double quotes around th page name .. change it to single quotes as shown in my previous example. Also I thinlk you need to add button.attributes.add("onclick","window.open('.... ');")

Are you using any application that blocks pop out windows? If yes, then you should turn it off.
