Property Value

The name of the field from the data source containing the values to display for the hyperlink captions in the HyperLinkField. The default is an empty string (""), which indicates that this property is not set.

Use the DataTextField property to specify the name of the field that contains the text to display for the hyperlink captions in the HyperLinkField object.

Instead of using this property to bind the hyperlink captions to a field, you can use the Text property to set the hyperlink captions to a static value. With this option, each hyperlink shares the same caption.

NoteNote:

If the DataTextField and Text properties are both set, the DataTextField property takes precedence.
