I would like the return of an ActionResult displayed on a new page?

I would like the return of my ActionResult Displayed on a new page?

This call below is the only call i have not been able to display on a new page?

Can any one show me what to add to get this right, i have used Window.open with buttons but now i have a RedirectToAction.

This is the call i want displayed on a new page/window:

return RedirectToAction("Print", new { id = contractInstance.SalesContractId });

I have buttons already doing this with this code:

window.open('Contract/Print/' + $(this).attr('id'));

The Print actionResult looks as follows:

public ActionResult Print(int id) // sales contract Id
        {
            ParameterFields paramFields = CreateParameterFields(id); // pass the id of the contract
            // Save the report run details
            Guid reportRunId;
            SaveReportRunDetails(paramFields, out reportRunId);               

            try
            {

               <<< Print code >>>
//Open a new page on this return would also be a good answer :)!!!!!!!
                return File(arrStream, "application/pdf");
            }
            catch (Exception err)
            {
                ViewBag.ErrorMessage = err.Message;
                return RedirectToAction("Edit", new { id = id, error = err.Message }); 
            }
        }

You can try following in controller action

Response.Write("<script type='text/javascript'>
                    window.open('YourViewName', '_blank');
                </script>");

How are you getting to the Print action from your Views? Is it just a hyperlink @Html.ActionLink("Print", "Print")?

.NET cannot tell your browser to open a new window from the server, that is done client side via the HTML markup or javascript calls (eg. Window.Open). The easiest way to open a link in a new page is to specify the target attribute on the HTML. Using the ActionLink helper, your syntax would be:

@Html.ActionLink("Print", "Print", "Contract", new{id = Model.SalesContractId}, new {target = "_blank"})

This should render something like this:

<a href="/Contract/Print/4" target="_blank">Print</a>
