Answer 1

Specify the HTML 'target' attribute using the htmlAttributes parameter. In Razor:

@Html.ActionLink("New Window", "Index", null, new { target= "_blank" })

In ASPX syntax:

<%= Html.ActionLink("New Window", "Index", null, new { target= "_blank" }) %>

Here's the same thing in ASPX View syntax: <%= Html.ActionLink("New Window", "Index", null, new { target= "_blank" }) %> – Hypersonic

Answer 2

Could not get the answers on here to work. I had to use

<%= Html.ActionLink("New Window", "Index", null, new { .target= "_blank" }) %>

This worked for me. It was just the silly little period at the beginning of target that was missing.
