Can this be done with ASP.NET

[Kevin Moore]

Hi,

Our ASP.Net application needs to present a PDF file to our users. We would
like the PDF to display in a new window. The catch is that I would like to
popup a new version of their browser and display the PDF in that. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hopefully you know that the user want to see the PDF (i.e Followed a link).
There are 2 ways to solve this:

1) Give the Anchor tag an target attribute with the value "_new".
2) Use JavaScript to open a new window when the page loads.

Kevin: I don't know of any way to open a new window on the client from
server-side code. As far as I know, you'll have to use client-side code
(e.g., JavaScript, target attribute of an href) to do so.

Reine,

Thank you for your suggestion, but unfortunately I didn't explain myself
thoroughly enough. I would to spawn the new window within code and not HTML/Javascript.
For example to redirect the user to a page within our ASP.Net application
we use response.redirect("info.aspx"), I would like to somehow show a new
window with the PDF in code.

Phil,

That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure that ASP.Net wasn't somehow
magical in nature and could do those type of things <bg>
