I have a created a custom list named "Hyperlink" in a team site. It has the following fields

1. Title - Single Line of text
2. Hyper - Hyperlink

I will add a new item to the custom list "Hyperlink" and set the value for the 'Hyper" field which is of field type Hyperlink.

Go to File tab, click on New and then click on Project.
In the New Project dialog box, expand the Visual C# node, and then select the Windows node.
In the Templates pane, select Console Application.
Enter the Name as Hyperlink and then click OK.
In the solution explorer, right click on the solution and then click on Properties.
Select the Application tab, check whether “.Net Framework 3.5” is selected for Target Framework.
Select the Build tab, check whether “Any CPU” is selected for Platform Target.
