Question

I want to add a style A:Hover to a HyperLink control from code behind.

I can do like this :

HyperLink hlRow = new HyperLink();
hlRow.Style.Add("color", "#000000");
hlRow.Style.Add("text-decoration", "none");

But how can I add styles for A:Hover for the hyperlink control?
Do I need to define a class and associate that class with this control, if yes how?

Answer 1

:hover is a selector, and not a style. What you’re doing in your example is adding inline styles to an element, and a selector equivalent for that obviously doesn’t make much sense.

You can add a class to your link: hlRow.CssClass = 'abc';
And define your class as such:

a.abc:hover {
    ...
}
