Wizard.FinishButtonClick - launch browser AND redirect

Hi;

In my Wizard.FinishButtonClick method I need to have the following happen:
1) A second browser is launched to a specific url.
2) The browser my code is in redirects to a different page.

Any idea how to do this?

Hi Dave,

You can use javascript to open the different page in a new window:

    protected void Wizard1_FinishButtonClick(object sender,
WizardNavigationEventArgs e)
    {
        ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "open2",
"window.open('Default2.aspx', '_blank')", true);
    }

Hi;

My popup blocker stops this from working. I can turn off my blocker - but
our users will have this on.

So... any other ideas on how to do this? In a perfect world when they click
on the Finish button in a wizard it pops up this window AND takes the
existing window to a new url.

But the pop'ed up window is the critical one. That one must be displayed as
it is the result of having gone through the wizard. At present when users
click done on the wizard we just go to that page - but they are then out of
our portal and find that very confusing.

Dave,

It's not possible bypass the popup blocker. You can detect if a popup block
is present, then use one of following options:

1) Prompt the user that he/she needs to turn off the popup blocker since
it's important for your site

2) Show the user a direct link to open the url in a new window; normally a
popup blocker only blocks a window opened by script.

For more information, please refer to following document:
