.aspx

<asp:TemplateField>

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton runat="server"

ID="LinkButton1"
Text="View File"

CommandName="open"
CommandArgument='<%# eval("filePath") %>'

ToolTip="select to view correspondence">
</asp:LinkButton>

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>

aspx.vb
Protected Sub GridView1_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewCommandEventArgs)

If e.CommandName = "open" Then

Response.ClearContent()

Response.ClearHeaders()

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.WriteFile("\\" + e.CommandArgument.ToString())

Response.Flush()

Response.Close()

End If



If I add target="blank" to the link button, a new window opens but with nothing in it and the following is displayed within the URL

javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$GridView1$ctl03$LinkButton1','')
