Basic HTML Anchor Element:

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/"
target="_blank">Visit W3Schools!</a>

ASP.NET WebForms HyperLink Element:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" Target="_blank">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink>

ASP.NET MVC Style:

<%= Html.ActionLink<HomeController>(c => c.Index(), "Click me", new { target = "_blank" }) %>

All three open a new tab, would that suit your needs?

If you're not using javascript, you need to use the target="_blank". But to do it in a cleaner mvc fashion, do:

<%= Html.ActionLink("Click me", "ActionName", null, new {target="_blank"}) %>

If your question is - How can I create pop-up window in asp.net mvc

The simple answer is : can't

For that matter you can't in PHP, JSP or any other server side scripting language.

You noticed that the solutions above are all HTML?

The pop-up window is a domain that has to be handled client side. The server languages can spew HTML/Javsascript that have the commands to open a pop-up window. They intrinsically can't order the browser to open a window.

<A Href="page.html" target="_blank">Link text </A>

The target="_blank" is the specific part you need.

Alternatively you could use target="new". Here's an article that describes how the two behave differently.
