Hello,
I have pdf that I would like to open from ASP.net project. I don't want to nagivate to the pdf, but i want to keep the current page opened but when a user clicks on the link, i want to open the pdf file in another page.
Thanks for your help.

A:
You could open the PDF in a new window:
<asp:HyperLink Target="_blank" runat="server" ID="linkBarPdf" Text="Open Bar PDF"
NavigateUrl="~/foo/bar.pdf">
This won't host the PDF though, but rather serve up the file for execution by the local machine's viewer. That COULD be a browser plug-in, or it could be outside of the browser.

you can also do this with a straight up HTML hyperlink and avoid the <asp:HyperLink> wrapper object.

@Visionary: indeed. I figured I'd give an ASP.NET solution rather than an HTML-only. Perhaps there is some code-behind involved here, and perhaps some reliance on viewstate.
