Question

Here is what I have but it’s not working.

So instead of having Web Site I would like it to show the actual address coming from the database that’s stored in lblWebSite.NavigateUrl

I tried changing it to lblWebSite.Text but that showed the web address, but did not act as a link. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

ASP CODE:

<asp:HyperLink ID="lblWebSite" runat="server" Target="_blank">Web Site</asp:HyperLink></span>

C# CODE:

this.lblWebSite.NavigateUrl = dvInfo.Table.Rows[0]["Uri"].ToString();

You can set both the Text and NavigateUrl of the Hyperlink control to be the web address:

string url = dvInfo.Table.Rows[0]["Uri"].ToString();
this.lblWebSite.NavigateUrl = url;
this.lblWebSite.Text = url;
