ASP.NET Web Forms HyperLink Control: Creating and Customizing Hyperlinks
Learn how to use the HyperLink control in ASP.NET Web Forms to create and customize hyperlinks on your web pages. This tutorial explains the HyperLink control's properties, demonstrates its usage with code examples, and shows how to create interactive hyperlinks within your ASP.NET applications.
ASP.NET Web Forms HyperLink Control
Introduction to the HyperLink Control
The HyperLink control in ASP.NET Web Forms creates hyperlinks on a web page. It's a server-side control, meaning it's processed on the server before being sent to the client's browser. The HyperLink control generates standard HTML anchor tags (`<a>`) when rendered. This control responds to click events, allowing you to navigate to different pages or resources.
Creating a HyperLink Control
You can create a HyperLink control either visually using the Visual Studio IDE or by writing code directly into your ASPX file. Here's an example using ASP.NET syntax:
Syntax
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" Text="JavaTpoint" NavigateUrl="https://tutorialsarena.com/"></asp:HyperLink>
Rendered HTML Output
<a href="https://tutorialsarena.com/">JavaTpoint</a>
