HyperLinkField.NavigateUrl Property

This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Gets or sets the URL to navigate to when a hyperlink in a HyperLinkField object is clicked.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Overridable Property NavigateUrl As String
C#
public virtual string NavigateUrl { get; set; }
Visual C++
public:
virtual property String^ NavigateUrl {
	String^ get ();
	void set (String^ value);
}
F#
abstract NavigateUrl : string with get, set
override NavigateUrl : string with get, set

Property Value

Type: System.String
The URL to navigate to when a hyperlink in a HyperLinkField is clicked. The default is an empty string (""), which indicates that this property is not set.
Remarks

Use the NavigateUrl property to specify the URL to navigate to when a hyperlink in a HyperLinkField object is clicked. When this property is set, each hyperlink shares the same navigation URL.

Instead of using this property to set the URL for the hyperlinks, you can use the DataNavigateUrlFields property to bind the URLs of the hyperlinks to a field in a data source. This allows you to have a different URL for each hyperlink.

Note Note

If the DataNavigateUrlFields and NavigateUrl properties are both set, the DataNavigateUrlFields property takes precedence.
Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the NavigateUrl property to specify a static Web page to navigate to when a hyperlink in a HyperLinkField object is clicked.
