C#/ASP.net - how to open a new browswer window/dialog?

I have an ASP page (C# as programming language) A.aspx which has 2 components - Button X and Text Field Y. Whenever a user click button X, it should open up a new dialog B.aspx (say, another IE explorer without the bars/icons) which shows the text in field Y.

I read it on the net...

one solution is to add a script in A.aspx in the onClick property of button X. The problem is I dunno who to propagate the info of field Y to B.aspx. Besides, that wont allow me (or least I dunno) to perform any actions in C# code upon the click of X (since the onClick now runs the script instead of the listerner code in C#)

Another option is invoke B.aspx from the buttonAction_Click code of Button X. However, I have no idea how to do it...and I also have no idea how to retrieve the info from A.aspx when I am in B.aspx

Okay you're asking two questions here:

First you want to open a new pop up window. To do this you use Javascript code, namely the window.open() method.

Then you want to pass a value from one browser to another. To do this you can use Query Strings.

Sample code:

%26lt;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"%26gt;

function OpenNewWindow( valueOfY ) {

window.open('B.aspx?Y = '+valueOfY' , 'toolbar=no, scrollbars=no, resizeable=yes, width=550, height=600, left=10, top=50' );

}

%26lt;/script%26gt;

%26lt;asp:Button ID="btnX" runat="server" Text="Open New Window" OnClientClick = "OpenNewWindow( '%26lt;%= txtY.Text %%26gt;' ); " /%26gt;

Hope this helps.

Firstly you have do distinguish between server side code and client side code, knowing that you can only open up a new browser window on the client side, even if it is a pop up window or dialog/model window.

Okay now to open up a dialog window you need to add client side script into you page. The script would be something like this;

%26lt;script language=javascript%26gt;

function Dialog()

{

var sPage;

var sProperties;

sProperties = 'scroll:no';

sProperties = sProperties + ';resizeable:no';

sProperties = sProperties + ';status:no';

sProperties = sProperties + ';dialogWidth:800px';

sProperties = sProperties + ';dialogHeight:750px';

sProperties = sProperties + ';Help:no';

sPage = "B.aspx";

showModalDialog(sPage , window, sProperties);

}

%26lt;/script%26gt;

Now on your onclick event (client side event!) you have to call this function.

eg.

%26lt;input id=X type=button

onclick="javascript:Dialog();"%26gt;

To pass the value of say your textbox Y, you can do this.

%26lt;script language=javascript%26gt;

function Dialog()

{

var sPage;

var sProperties;

sProperties = 'scroll:no';

sProperties = sProperties + ';resizeable:no';

sProperties = sProperties + ';status:no';

sProperties = sProperties + ';dialogWidth:800px';

sProperties = sProperties + ';dialogHeight:750px';

sProperties = sProperties + ';Help:no';

sPage = "B.aspx?Value=" + Y.value;

showModalDialog(sPage , window, sProperties);

}

%26lt;/script%26gt;

and change this ...

%26lt;input id=Y type=text%26gt;

%26lt;input id=X type=button

onclick="javascript:Dialog();"%26gt;
