Property Value

A string that specifies the URL of a page. The default value is String.Empty.

Remarks

Use the DetailLink property to link to more information about a Web Part. If you set the DetailLink property, clicking the title of the Web Part navigates to the the URL you provide.

No target attribute is set on the hyperlink. The target document opens in the same window that hosts the Web Part Page. To return to the Web Part Page, you can provide a redirector to the page.

This property cannot be personalized by individual users. The value of its WebPartStorageAttribute is Storage.Shared, which specifies that the property will be stored with the same value for all users. Only users with the Write web pages right can set this property.
