How to open URL in same window and in same tab

I have this LinkButton:

<asp:LinkButton ID="lbiOpen" runat="server" />

and my Code behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    lbiOpen.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:window.location.href('New.aspx');"); 
}

If a user clicks on the LinkButton a popup should open. But it doesn't work. When I click on nothing happens.

When I Change window.location.href = window.open it works, but it opens in another tab.

Solution

  • This works for me:

    <asp:LinkButton ID="lbiOpen" runat="server">Example</asp:LinkButton>


    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        lbiOpen.Attributes.Add("onclick", "window.open('New.aspx', 'New Window', 'width=200,height=100')");
    }
