ASP Button to open link

[Coolsat]

I need to do something simple but am new to asp.net. I want to add a
button to my page and when selected, to open a url in a seperate page.
The more I google how to do this, I keep seeing to do it via javascript
with window.open but the problem is, I need to build the url dynamicaly
thru code. I have the url as a string in vb. Is there a command I can
enter under the button click event to do this?

Thanks

You can build that piece of JS on post back event of the button and use
RegisterClientScriptBlock to put the script on page which will get executed

Yes, do it like you would in Asp using <%= url %> inside the button html.

Page.Response.Redirect( YourNewURL ) will take you to the new page

Redirect does not open the URL in new window.

Page.Response.Redirect( YourNewURL ) will take you to the new page

simple!
