Redirect webpage to same tab in asp.net

I'm using a asp.net hyperlink control to open a web URL when a user click the hyperlink.

What I want to do is, say user click the hyperlink, so it should open new tab (not a new window).

if the user clicks the link again, it should not open a different tab. It should redirect user to the same tab which opened last time.

Update: here i found

Popup = window.open(URL, "LoginWindow");

This will redirect user to same window when the link is clicked. I'm using this functionality in popup windows. This works perfectly fine with Chrome & Firefox but not in IE.

It always open a new window rather than redirecting to the already opened one. Any Idea to solve this?

Regards

You can also try target="MyWindow" so it always open in this new window/tab. This way we can avoid opening new window/tab for every anchor link we click on.

Try this code.Hope this will work for you 

 if (ViewState["hasvalue"].ToString() == "Clicked")
            {
            HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(new Uri("form2.aspx"), "_self");
            }
            else // First Time it will be opened in New TAB
            {

      Hyperlink1.target="_blank";
    Hyperlink1.NavigateUrl="form2.aspx";


    }

      // Assign this value to session
    ViewState["hasvalue"] = "Clicked";
    }

After opening in a new tab (new tab vs new window is a browser option, not an HTML option, see Open link in new tab or window) with 

target="_blank"

you need to set the hyperlink target to self either when generating your the page in c# or in JavaScript

target="_self"

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.hyperlink.target.aspx

The attribute target="_blank" is your only option. Much will depend on users' browser specific settings, you cannot change. In modern browsers this will open a new tab, in others a new window.
