Question

I have a button click event set up to retrieve a byte array object from my DB and it is then going to show the file in a new browser window. Right now I have this much:

Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", fileBytes.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(fileBytes);

where fileByes is my byte array. This is working perfectly, but I need to force this to open in a new window. I have tried adding the javascript to the response with response.write but that doesn’t seem to work.

You’d want to have your button click open the new browser window, which then makes the call to your code you have posted in your question. You’re trying to do it sort of backwards.
