Hi, when i want to open in a new windows a url, use this code.

Private Sub btnF_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnF.Click

Response.Write("window.open('http://www.hotmail.com','_blank')")
Response.Write("</script>")
End Sub

The popup blocker is there for a reason - to stop popups. And it is doing
what it is supposed to.

Your users will have to turn it off in order for your application to work
the way you designed it.

Yes, this type of code is blocked by many popup blockers.

You can get around this by using client-side script.

Choice 1: embed the script in the aspx page

Choice 2: set the script in code-behind by doing something like this:

btnButton.Attributes.Add("onClick","window.open('http://www.hotmail.com','_blank')")

I prefer choice #2 since it helps keep all your code in one place.

Good luck!
