If a simple new tab works for you, bind a HyperLinkField in the GridView so you can pass the CompanyID without any JavaScript. This keeps things accessible and avoids popup blockers.

<asp:HyperLinkField
    DataTextField="CompanyName"
    DataNavigateUrlFields="CompanyID"
    DataNavigateUrlFormatString="CompanyDetails.aspx?id={0}"
    Target="_blank" />

If you really need a popup with size/position, avoid inline JS and Response.Write. Use a TemplateField with a LinkButton and set its client script in RowDataBound so the click is a direct user action (not blocked by browsers), URL-encode the ID, and reuse a named window per company.

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Company">
  <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkCompany" runat="server"
        Text='<%# Eval("CompanyName") %>' />
  </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType != DataControlRowType.DataRow) return;

    var idObj = DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "CompanyID");
    var id = idObj == null ? string.Empty : idObj.ToString();

    var link = (LinkButton)e.Row.FindControl("lnkCompany");
    var url = ResolveUrl("~/CompanyDetails.aspx?id=" +
                         HttpUtility.UrlEncode(id));
    var winName = "company_" + id; // reuse one window per company

    link.OnClientClick =
        "window.open('" + url + "', '" + winName + "', " +
        "'popup,width=600,height=450,scrollbars=1,noopener,noreferrer'); return false;";
}

in the target property of the field, set it to _blank

Hi... I would suggest passing the CompanyID in Session -- Session.Add("CompanyID") -- and retrieving the companyid -- Session.Item("ComanyID") from the popup.

Protected Sub GridView1_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCommand

        If GridView1.Rows.Count - 1 > 0 Then

            If e.CommandName = "WHATEVERYOURBUTTONCOMMANDNAME" Then

 Dim CompanyID As String = GridView1.DataKeys(Convert.ToString(e.CommandArgument)).Item(0).ToString

Session.Add("CompanyID", CompanyID)

               Response.Write("<script>")
                Response.Write("window.open(YOURDETAILSWINDOW.aspx','_blank','toolbar=0,location=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=400,height=320')")
                Response.Write("</script>")

end if

end if

Hi You can do that by using JavaScript's OpenWindow() method and set the attribute values properly so that you get what exactly you want..
