Pop up in Asp.net

Question

hello how do i create a pop up and how can i set the size etc. ?

Answer 1

There are a few options. I'd suggest going with an existing popup control, such as:

• ASP.NET AJAX Popup extender (free)
• Telerik RadWindow (commercial but good)

You could also consider tying in clientside modal windows, such as the jQuery UI dialog, which may work well if you're using ajax.

Answer 2

use javascript like this:

window.open("whatever.aspx", "window_name", "width=500,height=500")

Answer 3

What you could also always do is not "Create" a new popup window but using some CSS, you can show an overlay and show a window like . Which is what lightbox does.
