ASP->ASP.NET conversion of window.open - C# newbie.

[Frank Nero]

In my ASP HTML code I have:

<a
href="javascriptopupWin=window.open('Start.asp','StartFromBeg','resizable'
);location.reload();">Click here to start.</a>

How to acomplish the same (creation of the new browser instance) inside C#
code-behind
LinkButton1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

function?

I know how to do that using Java Script and:

LinkButton1.Attributes.Add( "OnClick", "PopUpWindow();" );

but I was hoping to C# could open new browser without calling Java Script.


Thank you ,

Frank,

This can't be done. C# doesn't execute on the client side, just the
server side. ASP.NET is still creating markup which is sent down to the
browser.

You will basically have to do the same thing that you did before, which
is to write the javascript into the stream that will open the window. If
you are going to take advantage of the click event on the button though, it
is a more roundabout way of doing what you want. The reason for this is
that the click will be propogated back to the server, and then the server
will re-load the page with the script to open the window. If you attach the
click event to the click handler on the client, then the window opens
instantly.

Hope this helps.
