new windows/tabs is a client function, not the server. the server just responds to requests.

I'm sorry If I couldn't explain my problm
I'm writing code that is doing some thing and build a url now I need to open new windows by passing this url and get the response if it is success of fail. I couldn't find any solution will any body help me out.

thanks,

asp.net receives requests and sends a response. there are no windows to open, no UI to render. webforms or another mvc view engine may render html (or another document), but asp.net just sends a response.

opening windows would be the responsiblity of the browser/desktop application.

What return value are you talking about? window.open() does not return a value.

 

[jbenson001]

Do you mean the window reference?

In simple I just want to have some kind of return that new window open successfull

 

[jmeckley]

why wouldn't a window open successfully? how are you opening a window.

Opening window and receiving a successful response from the server are 2 different things. if you are talking about opening a new tab/window from the browser then you will be using javascript. at which point forum216 is better suited to answer your question.

that said, it sounds like you do not fully understand how http works. I would research http and request/response works. then research how the webforms view engine and the asp.net pipeline operate in the stateless environment of http.
