Try this code- 

 



<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="hyperlinkDemo.aspx.cs" Inherits="hyperlinkDemo" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>hyperlink Demo</title>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function openNewWindows(){
    window.open("http://www.asp.net");
    }
    
    </script>
</head>

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    
        <asp:HyperLink ID="hlDemo" runat="server" onclick="openNewWindows()" style="cursor:pointer; text-decoration:underline;">HyperLink Demo </asp:HyperLink>

Here is the correct code for you

If you use Window.open() it will open in new window

<asp:Button

ID=”btnNewEntry” runat=”Server” CssClass=”button”  Text=”New Entry” OnClick=”btnNewEntry_Click”  OnClientClick=”aspnetForm.target =’_blank’;”/>   // aspnetForm.target =’_blank’ will add handler to open new tab




protected void btnNewEntry_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
Response.Redirect(”New.aspx”); 
}

Try and let me knwo

Every link you create in markup you will get the option in of open in new tab, but for imagebutton, linkbutton etc your wont get option for open in new tab:

for ex:

<%--Get Option of new tab--%>
<a href="fb.aspx">Click</a>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/fb.aspx" Text="Click" />
 
<%--No Option of new tab--%>
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Click"/>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Text="click" PostBackUrl="~/fb.aspx"/>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" ImageUrl="~/1.bmp"
 runat="server" PostBackUrl="~/fb.aspx" Height="100" Width="50" />

I don't think we can control opening the page in new tab or new windows using serverside code. For this you need to use javascript.

Secondly, i think you can't open the page in new tab because there is no such option in javascript AFAIK.
This is a option in IE when a new page opened, you can select either you need to open this in new tab / window:
Check this option in IE:

just insert target="_blank" in that tag like this:

<asp:HyperLink ID="hyp" NavigateUrl="~/aboutus.aspx" runat="server" Text="click" Target="_blank"></asp:HyperLink>

Hope this will help you.
