How to launch another aspx web page upon button click?

Question

I have an asp.net application, where the user would click a button and launch another page (within the same application). The issue I am facing is that the original page and the newly launched page should both be launched.

I tried response.redirect, but that tends to unload the original page.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

This button post to the current page while at the same time opens OtherPage.aspx in a new browser window. I think this is what you mean with ...the original page and the newly launched page should both be launched.

<asp:Button ID="myBtn" runat="server" Text="Click me" 
     onclick="myBtn_Click" OnClientClick="window.open('OtherPage.aspx', 'OtherPage');" />

Answer 2

Edited and fixed (thanks to Shredder)

If you mean you want to open a new tab, try the below:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Form.Target = "_blank";
}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    Response.Redirect("Otherpage.aspx");
}

This will keep the original page to stay open and cause the redirects on the current page to affect the new tab only.
