Re: opening page in New Window

put the Script above of ur page .. and then call its Function into ur Button or linkButton into the 'onclientclick '.. etc example

<script type="text/javascript">
function PostToNewWindow()
{
    originalTarget = document.forms[0].target;
    document.forms[0].target='_blank';
    window.setTimeout("document.forms[0].target=originalTarget;",300);
    return true;
}
</script>

<asp:LinkButton id="lbnkVidTtile1" runat="Server" OnClientClick="return PostToNewWindow();" />

The reason you might not think the posted solution will work is because link buttons are "smoke and mirrors". It's not a "normal" link. When your page is rendered, the link simply calls javascript when clicked, and that javascript submits the form. Making the form submit to a new window will solve your issue. However you might have a problem if other controls on the page also submit (buttons etc) but you don't want those to open in a new window.
