_blank

Renders the content in a new window without frames.

_parent

Renders the content in the immediate frameset parent.

_search

_self

Note:

The HyperLinkField.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 HyperLinkField.Target property if the rendered output for the System.Web.UI.WebControls.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 HyperLinkField.Target property to target another window. For more information, see ASP.NET Accessibility.
