Hyperlinks

  • Article

A hyperlink can open an application and initiate device functionality. For example, if a hyperlink is a phone number, pressing the ENTER button initiates a call. A hyperlink is not a control. The following table lists the controls you can use to create a hyperlink and considerations for each control.

Control Development considerations
HTML control
  • You can take advantage of other aspects of the HTML control such as background images and dynamic flow of text.
  • There is moderate degradation in device performance.
LinkLabel control, an ASP.NET mobile control
  • This control does not allow the link to be within non-linked text and does not allow for the dynamic flow of text around the link.
  • This is a simple control to program.
  • There is no degradation in device performance.
