New Window

[vbud]

I know that this should be a fairly easy question, but does anybody know how I could pop up a new IE window using ASP.Net (VB) without having the need to use JavaScript?

Thanx.

I think that is not possible

Well my research throughout the web has given me the same idea. Its weird though, that one of the basics that should have been included in ASP.Net (from a theoretical point of view...). Just a shame that we are brought to rely on Javascript for this...

well,.... I wouldnt actually say that its ashame. The reason is that ASP.NET is a server side technology. Once the page is sent to the client ASP.NET has no control over the page unless a new request is made. In order to make a pop-up window, you need to be on the client side and tell the browser to open a new window. The only way to do this is with client side script, like javascript or VBScript or a <meta> tag.
