Opening word document in seperate web page.

[sreeramnavale]

I use the following code to open a word document from ASP.NET and this code opens the word document on the current web page.

myExportFileOnline = mergeDocumentOnlinePath & "FNC_Commercial_Release_of_Assignment.doc"
Response.Redirect(myExportFileOnline)

I would like to open word document in a seperate new web page, instead of opening it on the current web page as I am doing right now.
Basically I would like to leaving the current web page AS IT IS.

Can some one help me?

Thanks,
SPN

You could create a second ASP.NET page, called "DisplayDoc.aspx", which accepted the name of a word file to display in a query-string parameter.

Then, in your current page, use a HyperLink control to link to DisplayDoc.aspx?fileName=yourWordFile.doc, setting the Target attribute to "_blank" which will cause a new window to open.

Thank you for the suggestion Dragonwell, Your suggestion can work if yourWordFile.doc were a file which already exists on the server.

But yourWordFile.doc is getting created in the program which is there in the CODE BEHIND code(i.e ABC.aspx.vb file). Once the yourWordFile.doc is generated I immediately want to display it from the CODE BEHIND code itself on a seperate web page(say DisplayDoc.aspx). Moreover I do not want to add any hyperlink on the current web page.

I tried using something like Window.open but I really do not know the whole syntax of using it to open a new web page from the code behind. Or is there any other way better then use of Window.open.
