I have a button on a ASPX page that need to open URL. Those URL can change dynamically and are mostly files (.xls, .doc) on the server. In Interdev, document.open('URL') use to do the job ! In .NET, I tried response.redirect('URL') with success but I'm not sure if it's the right way. Thank's
 
either.. one is a clientside call, the other requires a post-back and
redirection.
Personally, I avoid the extra server postback if you can and generate the
link to the clientside HREF or redirection

No need to fix what isn't broken!

However, if you want to optimize a bit you can open a new window using
javascript such as this:
a=window.open('Test.aspx','_new')
Here's more info:

http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/dom_window_ref77.html

You could also use the RegisterClientScriptBlock or RegisterStartupScript
functions to help you output the javascript from your server code.
Here's more info on these:
