Invoke IE from ASP.NET

wdewebserver · Oct 19, 2005

Hi

I would like to invoke a new instance of IE from within a page and pass it a
URL. How can I do this in C#?

I have tried using SHDOCVW.DLL to no avail.

TIA

Do you want to do this on the server, you mean?

I would like to invoke a new instance of IE from within a page and pass it
a
URL. How can I do this in C#?

Unless I'm seriously off the mark here, create an anchor tag and set its
target to "_blank"...

<html>
<head>
</head>

<body>
<form>
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.microsoft.com">Click here to
open a new browser window</a>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Yes, as I need to send the URL based on the user selection. The browser
should open in a new window.

TIA

If you just want an IE open at client, javascript is enough

winodw.open(....)

if you are trying to get content of a webpage at server side, checkout this
post.. it may help..

What Ray was getting at is that this new window would be ON the server..
litterally. The Client wouldn't see it. You are trying to invoke IE ON the
server not FROM the server...

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish.

1. The User clicks on the Menu
2. Then based on selection, the application retrieves a URL from the
configuration file.
3. A new Browser window opens.

That's all, I need. TIA

Menu Item posts back
You read the item they selected
You get your value
You pass it to a clientside javascript call to open a window.
