How can I use the RowDataBound declaration on a GridView to navigate away to new .aspx page with Specific window size

i use a following code in rowdatabound event

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
e.Row.Attributes["onClick"] = string.Format("window.location = 'CandidateProfile.aspx?candidateID={0}';", DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "candidateID"))

}

i want to change it so the click event opens in a new window with specified height and width

never mind i got it

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow && e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Alternate)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
for (x=0; x < cellCount-1; x++ )
e.Row.Cells[x].Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:window.open('CandidateProfile.aspx?candidateID=" + DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "candidateID") + "',null,'left=162px, top=134px, width=500px, height=500px, status=no, resizable= yes, scrollbars=yes, toolbar=no, location=no, menubar=no');");
}
}

something like:

var url = string.Format('CandidateProfile.aspx?candidateID={0}';", DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "candidateID"));

ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "openWindow",
 "<script>openWindow('url')</script>");

function openWindow(url, redirectUrl) {
    var x = window.open(url, 'mynewwin', '_blank', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=600,height=520,modal=yes,alwaysRaised=yes');
    x.focus();
    window.location = redirectUrl;
}

Open in new window

or calling Response.Redirect:

Response.Redirect(string.Format("CandidateProfile.aspx?candidateID={0}';", DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "candidateID")", "_blank", "menubar=0,scrollbars=1,width=780,height=900,top=10");

Open in new window

change the width/height according to your needs.

cheers

In your aspx add script tag and code the function inside.
So upon row click, the function is being called passing the url with relevant data.
I wasnt infront of a pc but this is the idea.
U can try response.redirect but im not its gonna work, i havent tested it yet

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"> 
function openWindow(...){

}
</SCRIPT>

Open in new window

i tried this
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:window.open('CandidateProfile.aspx?candidateID=" + DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "candidateID") + "',null,'left=162px, top=134px, width=500px, height=500px, status=no, resizable= yes, scrollbars=yes, toolbar=no, location=no, menubar=no');");

it works but i dont want the click event in the last column of the grid as it has button in that column
