ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Name

HyperLink

Synopsis

This class represents a link to another web page, which is specified by the NavigateUrl property. The control can be displayed as text specified by the Text property or as the image located at ImageUrl. If both properties are set, ImageUrl takes precedence, provided the image file is available, and the Text is used for an image tooltip. The Target property specifies the name of the frame that the linked page will be loaded into. Note that you cannot respond to the link click in code. If you want to provide this type of behavior, use the LinkButton control instead.

The HyperLink control also supports databinding to its Text and NavigateUrl properties.
