A simple example:

<a title="aTitle" onmouseover="javascript:this.style.cursor='hand'; 
    onclick="javascript:SP.UI.ModalDialog.ShowPopupDialog('http://path/to/NewForm.aspx';);
    return false;">
    link Text
</a>

You can read more about SP.UI.ModalDialog at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff408909.aspx

Answer 2

Found the solution ,

Visual Wp :

Add below javascript

<script type="text/javascript">

      function AddWebParts(addedwebparts) {

          var varUrl = "<%=varPageUrl%>";
          var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
          options.url = varUrl + addedwebparts;
          options.allowMaximize = true;
          options.showClose = true;
          options.dialogReturnValueCallback = Function.createDelegate(null, CloseCallback);
          SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);

          function CloseCallback(dialogResult) {
              if (dialogResult == SP.UI.DialogResult.OK) {

                 __doPostBack('AddWebpartsToPage'); // this will post back the page with the argument specified
              }
          }
      }
</script>

Page load :

varPageUrl = SPContext.Current.Site.Url.ToString();
appendurl = "/Lists/QuickLinks/NewForm.aspx" + "?Source=" + Page.Request.Url.ToString();
btnQuickLinks.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:AddWebParts('" + appendurl + "');return false;");

after button click your changes should be updated so write below code in page load

string eventArgument = this.Page.Request.Params.Get("__EVENTTARGET");
if (eventArgument != null)
{
    if (eventArgument.Contains("AddWebpartsToPage"))
    {
        //BindGridDATA();
        BindGrid();
    }
}
