NoteNote:

The Target property is rendered as a target attribute. The target attribute on anchor elements is not allowed in the XHTML 1.1 document type definition. Do not set the Target property if the rendered output for the HyperLinkField object must be XHTML 1.1-compliant. For more information, refer to the topic ASP.NET and XHTML Compliance.

When creating accessible Web pages, it is strongly recommended you avoid using the Target property to target another window. For more information, see ASP.NET Accessibility.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Target property to specify a target window in which to display the contents of the Web page associated with a hyperlink in a HyperLinkField object. The linked Web page is displayed in a new window when the hyperlink is clicked.
