Response.Redirect

[dew]

How can I do a response.Redirect and have it create a new window,
preferrably the _search as the target. Thank you for your help.

You can't target a response.redirect in anything but the current window. All
it can do is direct the current browser window to a url. You could instead
have it redirect to somewhere that would have a script that would open a new
window with the page you want, but response.redirect can't do this and
neither can server.transfer.

Hope this helps,

You cannot. You have to emit the correct JavaScript so the browser will
open a new window and navigate.

Thanks. I have the javascript that works in a menu control, but how would I
do that in the code behind (vb)? What I have is a button that gathers
search criteria (if any), then in page pre_render it calls the methods that
will search for data and return whether there is data, no data, or a certain
number of records. That is where I need to launch the results in a search
window if there is a certain number of records. How would I do that?

window.open('frmActiveRecords.aspx?idx=12345','_search')

From your codebehind, you could actually do this using the Response object:

Response.Write("<script>window.open('frmActiveRecords.aspx?idx=12345','_search');</script>");
