Question

what is the difference between Hyperlink and HyperLinkField?

Priya Linge · Answer

Hi 1. HyperlinkField is a column type for data bound controls such as GridView. It will display a link for each record in the data bound control. datasourceid=titles width=90% cellpadding=5 font-size=8pt autogeneratecolumns=false headerstyle-backcolor=maroon headerstyle-forecolor=khaki headerstyle-font-bold rowstyle-verticalalign=top> columns > asp:hyperlinkfield headertext=Title datatextfield=title datanavigateurlformatstring=page_details.aspx?id={0} datanavigateurlfields=id /> datafield=id /> datafield=Name /> datafield=fee htmlencode=false dataformatstring={0:n2} itemstyle-horizontalalign=right /> columns > asp:gridview > 2. Hyperlink would have to be declared inside an ItemTemplate in a GridView as it does not inherit from DataControlField. asp:HyperLink ID=hltitle runat=server NavigateUrl=' ' Text = ' ' /> Hope this will help you. Thanks.
