current code: Response.Redirect("DeviceInformation.aspx?arg=" + e.CommandArgument);

which redirects to a page with a data grid. The argument is passed into a stored proc on a database and the infor is returned in a grid.

What i want, is the same thing, but, open it in a new page.

So something like:

Response.OpenNewDamnPage("DeviceInformation.aspx?arg=" + e.CommandArgument);

but unfortunatly that does not exsist.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey
Try This

protected void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Write("<script type='text/javascript'>window.open('NewPageUrlWithArgument.aspx','_blank');</script>");
    }

This sure will work

If it solves your problem mark the thread as solved.

Use this exactly for your case:

protected void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      Response.Write("<script type='text/javascript'>window.open('DeviceInformation.aspx?arg=" + e.CommandArgument + "','_blank');</script>");
    }

Dont forget to enclose your code in code tags like this:

[code=C#] Response.OpenNewDamnPage("DeviceInformation.aspx?arg=" + e.CommandArgument);

[/code]

this will display as

Response.OpenNewDamnPage("DeviceInformation.aspx?arg=" + e.CommandArgument);

Use this exactly for your case:

protected void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      Response.Write("<script type='text/javascript'>window.open('DeviceInformation.aspx?arg=" + e.CommandArgument + "','_blank');</script>");
    }

I used the following:

if (e.CommandName == "AssetName")
        {
            Response.Write("<script type='text/javascript'>window.open('UsageInformation.aspx?arg=" + e.CommandArgument + "','_blank');</script>");
         }

I get a new blank page with the correct url!

but if i use:

if (e.CommandName == "AssetName")
        {
            Response.Redirect("UsageInformation.aspx?arg=" + e.CommandArgument);
        }

I get the page reloaded with the data.

So both ways i get the correct url:

http://localhost:4513/WebSite2/UsageInformation.aspx?arg=XFM_UG:#306:100099462

but unless i call the responce.redirect it will load blank. For example even if I copy that link into my browser it loads a blank page.

Very very close... any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

I have some new information tha might help.

If i put a control such as a label as long with the gridview the label loads when I used the following:

http://localhost:4513/WebSite2/UsageInformation.aspx?arg=XFM_UG:#306:100099462

But the grid which is set up to a sql data source that uses the qurrey string to get data, does not load. So i wonder if the remaining problem is with the datagrid?

well, your problem was to load the page in new window.

Which you did successfully.

Did you use the page_load event of new page. Try to get the value from the query string in the page_load event and then load the gridview in the Page_Load event.

This should probably work . I will sure look over this problem.

Your problem of opening new page from the code behind was solved. So you should mark this thread as solved and start new thread.
