It's pretty simple. Set the "Target" attribute of your asp:HyperLink to "_blank". Fill the url into NavigateUrl. It's going to open the link in a new Browser.

 <asp:HyperLink runat="server" ID="lnkUrlValue" NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("Url")%>'  
  Text='<%#Eval("Url")%>' ForeColor="#8D34FF" Font-Underline="true")                                                                                                                   
  Target="_blank"></asp:HyperLink>

Did you tried this 

NavigateUrl='<%# "http://" + Eval('name')%>'

" Text="<%#Eval('name')%>" Target="_blank" runat="server"/>

NavigateUrl='<%# "http://" + Eval('name')%>'

Try the following:

<asp:HyperLink
  id="hyperlink1"
  NavigateUrl="<%# (Eval("URL").ToString().IndexOf("http://")!=-1 ? "http://":"")+Eval("name").ToString()%>"
  Text="<%#Eval('name')%>"
  Target="_blank"
  runat="server" />

remember to begin your urls with http:// otherwise it will think it's a relative url.

Make sure the URL starts with a protocol like http://
