Viewing File in ASP.NET

[Benson Cheng]

Hi All,

This is what I want to do, in a aspx page, the user enters some search
criteria, and when the user click on the search button, the page lists all
the matching files (on the server) as a hyperlink, and if the user click on
any of the hyperlinks, then it display the file content in a new window, the
file could be in text or xml format.

So far I got the search part working, and I am thinking to use the HyperLink
control to display each matched file name, but I don't know what value
should I set the HyperLink.NavigateUrl property? Is this the right way to
do it? Does anyone have any other suggestions how to do this?

Thanks,
Benson.

With the HyperLink control you can set the Target property to
"_blank". This will display the linked page in a new window.
More details on the Target property can be found in the docs:
