aspnet Open link in new tab from server side
Problem:
If you create an anchor with a target="_blank", a new window will open when the user clicks the link. However, if you are using a server control, it does not enable opening a new tab directly or through the control click event.
We may be tempted to register the script with
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "redirectscript" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "window.open('" + url + "','_blank');", true);
This does work, but unfortunately the browser will most probably block the popup, since it wasn't called from user action directly.
Solution:
The solution to this is to add the OnClientClick attribute to the control, configuring the form in which the control is in to run events in a new page, which will happen before actually running the click event.
E.g.
<asp:LinkButton ID="myButton" runat="server" Text="Click Me!"
OnClick="myButton_Click"
OnClientClick="aspnetForm.target ='_blank';"/>
