Question

I have a Gridview control in asp.net with C#.

In my application when I press the edit button from Gridview I need to open the information in another window. At this moment I use ‘Response.Redirect("..")’ but it opens in the same window.

I’ve tried:

 protected void OutputGridView_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
        {
            outputGridView.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
            GridViewRow row = outputGridView.Rows[outputGridView.EditIndex];
           
            string url = "http://localhost/MyPage.aspx";
            Response.Write("<script>");
            Response.Write("window.open('" + url + "')");
            Response.Write("<" + "/script>")
 
            e.Cancel = true;
        }

But with no luck.

What’s the best way to do this?

This code will open the window in new window. for this you need to use the ScriptManager

string BrowserSettings = "status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=no,"+
                                        "titlebar=no, addressbar=no, width=600 ,height=750";
            string URL = "http://localhost/MyPage.aspx";
            string scriptText = "window.open('" + URL + "','_blank','" + BrowserSettings + "');";
            ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, typeof(Page), "ClientScript1", scriptText, true);
