Question

I was wondering if it is possible to make a label a hyperlink? Below is the code for a column I have set up and I want to make “lblEmail” clickable so that the email opens up and with that email address in it. The idea is that as various users log in to the site, their unique info will appear in the column. Is it as simple as wrapping the label control in an anchor tag? If so, I must be missing something because I tried that. Since I am new, it is likely I missed something!

Thanks in advance!

<p>
<asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>&nbsp;<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblPhoneNo" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>&nbsp;<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblAddress" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>&nbsp;<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblCity" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>, <asp:Label ID="lblState" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>&nbsp;<asp:Label ID="lblZipCode" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>&nbsp;<br />
<asp:Label ID="lblEmail" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>&nbsp;<br />

Instead of using a label, you could make use of an hyperlink control.
The usage is as follows:

<asp:HyperLink id="hyperlink1" 
              ImageUrl="images/pict.jpg"
              NavigateUrl="http://www.microsoft.com"
              Text="Microsoft Official Site"
              Target="_new"
              runat="server"/>
