Open web page in new window

[akanihuu]

I am creating a web application using C#. I have a login page that is
used authenticate the user and redirect them to another web page called
Run.aspx that runs an executable that takes their username as a
parameter. Currently I am using Response.Redirect(Run.aspx) to take
the authenticated user to the page.
Session ["UserName"] = userName.Text;
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.RedirectFr omLoginPage(userName.Text,
false);
Response.Redirect("Run.aspx");
Now I need to take the authenticated user to the page by opening a new
window. I have read most of the post concerning this subject and tried
the suggestions, but I can't open a new window. I have tried
something like this:
string script = "<script language='javascript'>window.open('Run.aspx',
'_blank');</script>";
Page.RegisterStartupScript("script", script);
and others, but nothing seems to work. I would really appreciate any
help, thanks.

uh, where are you putting that script? In run.aspx itself?

And you've got issuse with your FormsAuthentication code.
Specifically, this line...

Response.Redirect("Run.aspx");

....will never get called. RedirectFromLoginPage does it's own header
redirect, back to whatever page redirected to it in the first place.
So unless you came to the login screen by being kicked off of run.aspx,
you'll never end up back there.

If you want to force your users to see run.aspx (and run whatever
client-side scripts live there) immediately after login, lop off that
RedirectFromLoginPage line, and use SetAuthCookie instead.

Good luck!

I put the script code in the login.aspx.cs to replace the
Response.Redirect().

Again, RedirectFromLoginPage will end processing. No lines after that
will run. That's why your code is not working. It never gets a
chance.

As I said, use SetAuthCookie instead, and you'll at least get a chance
to see what your code does.
