How to Redirect to Another Already Open Page (Managing Multiple Open Pages in ASP.Net)

[TC]

Hello,

In ASP.Net via C#, but if someone can help me with a VB.Net example that's
fine too, I am trying to redirect to a page that is already open.

For example, when a user clicks a submit button on the main page, a new
window is opened that displays the material. The user then goes back to the
main page and makes changes and clicks the submit button again.

Rather than opening a new window again, I want the user to be redirected to
the original second page.

Does anybody have VB.Net or C# sample code for this?

Thanks & Regards,

TC

Give a name for the new window - 2nd parameter for window.open(). If the
browser finds a window opened already with the given name, then it will
reuse it.

E.g.:

var p = window.open ("http://www.google.com", "Google");
p.focus();

Shiva,

Thanks a bunch!

I finally understand. I was having some trouble with the javascript
implementation.

I will post a code sample in a bit for all of those who are to follow.

Best Regards,

Below is code that, for the most part, works. However, one has to click the
button twice in order to actually re-direct with focus.

private void btnNewPDFWindow_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

string NewPage = "NewPageZoom.aspx";

string ScriptBlockNewPage = "<script language='javascript'>var
NewPDFPage=window.open('" + NewPage + "','PDFPage');";

ScriptBlockNewPage = ScriptBlockNewPage + "NewPDFPage.focus();</script>";

Response.Write(ScriptBlockNewPage);

}
