Output a string from code behind to a new page or window

Assume a string variable in code behind containing some HTML content such as

Dim str1 As String = "<h3>hello</h3><p>some paragraph</p><table><tr><td>some table content</td></tr></table>"

A saved file could be opened by registering a script such as

Dim script1 As String = "window.open('popupPage.html', 'myPopup')"
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "someId", script1, true)

Is there any way to output this content in a new tab or window from code behind without saving it to a file?

You can pass an empty string for a file name

'Declare a script with your variable
Dim script1 As String = "<script>var popwin = window.open('','myPopup');popwin.document.write('" & str1 & "');</script>"

'Call your script with ScriptManager for async postback from UpdatePanel
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.GetType(), "poptest", script1, true)

'Call your script with ClientScript for synchronous postback outside/without UpdatePanel
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType, "popuptest", script1, True)
