Question

I just searched, but didn’t find a way to create a web link in my Windows phone7 Application. In Android TextView has android:autoLink='Web' In Windows phone7 textblock I didn’t find any relevant property.

Tried adding the NavigateURI property in the Hyperlink and it gives an exception. NavigateUri="http://www.google.com"

Really appreciate If someone Can suggest How to do this. Thanks in Advance…!!!!!

Answer 1

Use just the HyperLinkButton Control.

And add this property to your control:

<HyperlinkButton TargetName="_blank" Content="Go To" Click="HyperlinkButton_Click"/>

Finally add the click event handler to launch the browser using the BrowserTask :

 private void HyperlinkButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
 {
     WebBrowserTask webBrowserTask = new WebBrowserTask();
     webBrowserTask.Uri = new Uri("http://www.google.com");
     webBrowserTask.Show();
 }
