HtmlLink Class

.NET Framework 2.0

Note: This class is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Allows programmatic access to the HTML <link> element on the server.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.HtmlControls
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
public class HtmlLink : HtmlControl
J#
Copy 
public class HtmlLink extends HtmlControl
JScript
Copy 
public class HtmlLink extends HtmlControl

The HtmlLink control allows programmatic access to the HTML <link> element on the server. The HtmlLink control can be used to programmatically specify a cascading style sheet (CSS) reference in a Web page.

The following code example demonstrates using the HtmlLink control to programmatically add a style sheet to a Web page.

C#
VB
Copy 
<%@ Page Language="C#"%>
<script runat="server">

  protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    // Define an HtmlLink control.
    HtmlLink myHtmlLink = new HtmlLink();
    myHtmlLink.Href = "~/StyleSheet.css";
    myHtmlLink.Attributes.Add("rel", "stylesheet");
    myHtmlLink.Attributes.Add("type", "text/css");
    
    // Add the HtmlLink to the Head section of the page.
    Page.Header.Controls.Add(myHtmlLink);
    
  }
</script>
<script>

</script>
<html>
  <head id="head1" 
        runat="server">
    <title>HtmlLink Example Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form id="form1" 
          runat="server">
      <h1>HtmlLink Example Page</h1>
      This is some text in the body of the Web Forms page.
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

To run the preceding code example, you need a cascading style sheet (CSS) named Stylesheet.css, containing the following code, saved in the same directory as your Web site.

VB
Copy 
body {
  padding-left: 11em;
  font-family:  Verdana, "Times New Roman",
        Times, serif;
  color: blue;
  background-color: silver }
h1 {
  font-family: Helvetica, Geneva, Arial,
        SunSans-Regular, sans-serif; 
  color: purple }
body {
  padding-left: 11em;
  font-family:  Verdana, "Times New Roman",
        Times, serif;
  color: blue;
  background-color: silver }
h1 {
  font-family: Helvetica, Geneva, Arial,
        SunSans-Regular, sans-serif; 
  color: purple }

RSS link

Add an RSS link to your page's head element programmatically:

 
// Create a link control
HtmlLink rssLink = new HtmlLink();
rssLink.Attributes.Add("rel", "alternate");
rssLink.Attributes.Add("type", "application/rss+xml");
rssLink.Attributes.Add("title", "Feed Title");
rssLink.Href = "http://url/to.rss";
 
// Add the link to the page header
Page.Header.Controls.Add(rssLink);

 

(Requires your page or master page to have a head runat="server")
