The DataTextField and Text properties cannot both be set at the same time. If both properties are set, the DataTextField property takes precedence. |

|---|
Text is not HTML encoded before it is displayed in the HyperLinkColumn. This makes it possible to embed script within HTML tags in the text. If the values for this column come from user input, be sure to validate the values to reduce security vulnerabilities. |
The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.
