I have a control on one of my page which takes some user input

I have a control on one of my page which takes some user input (URL) and allows the user to test the link.

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("URL") %>' Target="_blank">Click here to test link</asp:HyperLink>

The problem is if the user puts in the URL “google.com”, then the link will be treated as “http://localhost/google.com&#8221;. I have to put “http://www.google.com&#8221; for it to go to the right place.

Is it possible to treat the link like it is an absolute link in all cases?

    Try this…

    NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("URL", "http://{0}") %>'

    Edit: if you want to add check whether it already contain http:// then it should be like..

    NavigateUrl=<%# Eval("URL").ToString().Contains("http://") == true ? Eval("URL") :
 "http://" + Eval("URL")  %>
