Remarks

Use this property to mark a section on a Web page with a name. This allows you to link to this section from anywhere on the same page. For example, you can provide a table of contents at the top of a page that will link directly to topics on the page.

To link to a marked section, use an HtmlAnchor control with the HRef property set to the name of the section, preceded by a # symbol (<a HRef= "#Topic1"/>).
