Beginner Question

[Jeremy]

How can I call another webform as a new window, as opposed to replacing the
content of the current window?
I need to be able to do this from code (eg. Server.Transfer) or implicitly
behind a hyperlink.

Thanks in advance.

You need to use Page.RegisterStartupScript() (on the server) to register a
JavaScript on the page that will run as soon as the page loads in the
browser. Something like:

Dim str As String = "<script
type=""text/javascript"">window.open('somepage.aspx?queryString=whatever');<
/script>"
If Not Page.IsStartupScriptRegistered("OpenWindow") Then
Page.RegisterStartupScript("OpenWindow", str)
End If

Yes it is...

You must understand that while you are working with a new platform (ASP.NET) on
the client the browser its the same... and basically what the client gets is
HTML. So you need to use the same tricks on the client side as you used with ASP
3.0 for instance. The good thing is that you have the tools in .NET to do it, as
Kevin demonstrated.

No, it's really that simple. There are quite a few things more complicated
than that with ASP.Net.
