open the link in a new window from code behind

Question

I am using gridview to display the booking history when the user clicks on a "print" button. A printticket.aspx page should open in a new window. I have used window.open but it is blocked by the browser.

   string url = "../Printticket.aspx";
   string fullURL = "window.open('" + url + "', '_blank', 'height=600,width=1000,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,titlebar=no' );";
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, typeof(string), "OPEN_WINDOW", fullURL, true);

I want to open the printticket page in a new window. Is there any other way?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and have managed to resolve it.

This solutions works for both ASP:Button and ASP:LinkButton .

string url = "../Printticket.aspx";
string fullURL = "window.open('" + url + "', '_blank', 'height=600,width=1000,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,titlebar=no' );";
btnButton.OnClientClick = fullURL;

Where btnButton is typeof(Button) or typeof(LinkButton)

Hope this helps someone later.
