ASP.NET Response.Redirect to open a new browser window?

We are using ASP.NET Webforms (not MVC).

My question is this:
Is it possible to open a new browser window using a postback and then some variety of Response.Redirect?

Thanks.

This question was posed almost 2 years ago.
Is there anything new in JavaScript or HTML 5 that makes this possible?

Thank you.

As mentioned above you can't use Response.Redirect but with JavaScript its possible (as long as js its enabled).

Hope this helps you

//PostBack approch
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
//Consume ParamX 
   ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, typeof(Page), "OpenWindow", "window.open('YourPage.aspx?Param=" + ParamX.ToString() + "');",true);
} 
     
//Page Load approach
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Button1.OnClientClick="javascript:window.open('YourPage.aspx?Param=" + ParamX.ToString() + "');"; 
}

Yeah, without JS this is not possible but with some clever hack you can achieve the desired result.

For detailed information refer this post.

As far as I know, this is not possible to do using Response.Redirect since it is on the server side. Your best bet would probably be to use JavaScript... but that will not work if the user has JavaScriptdisabled.

Good Luck!
