Answer 1

Why don't you provide full url in href and target as blank in codebehined file while generating anchor like:

 

 link = @"<a href="'www.example.com/" + strPath + @" ' ) "">" + row["filename"].ToString() + " target='_blank' </a>"

 

So that it will open the exact url in new window.

Thanks Ruchi/Gokhul for giving suggestion.

 

Ruchi,

 

I want to give link only file like text/doc/pdf not web page. Hence I have used as below, it is working in local/dev server but UAT server it is not working.  

link = @"<a href="'file:" + strPath + @" ' ) "">" + row["filename"].ToString() + " target='_blank' </a>" 

 

Getting  error message when click on link 

 

            The Page can't be displayed

•    Make sure the web address is correct
•    Look for the page with your search engine
•    Refresh the page in a few minues

 

 

The file location path I have access in Dev server but in UAT I don't have access to that location. Due to that it is not working? Without access to that location also it should be work. Please suggest.
