how can I popup a pdf file?
I am at my wits end on what should be a simple solution. I have a datagrid which has bound hyperlink column which is a pdf file name. When the user clicks on it, I want to open a new window and show the pdf file. Have searched every where and asked several different ways with no luck I am using VB and need an example. Lots of points available, just need some help.
Hi,
I use javascript - try the code in the handler for the link command in the datagrid
c#:
string js = "<script> window.open(\"numerical.pd
Response.Write(js);
or you can get the value of the field and put it where I have "numerical.pdf"
hope this helps
cheers
