Is there a way to create a mailto: hyperlink in a Silverlight 4 OOB

  • 0

Is there a way to create a mailto: hyperlink in a Silverlight 4 OOB app? Thanks!

Edit: based on some of the discussion, an acceptable answer would be a different way than using the HyperlinkButton, or a way to use the HyperlinkButton without having the extra popup in IE.

    Ideally it would have been nice of you to post some code, as I have no idea whether the email address is known/determined at design-time or run-time, but nonetheless:

    In XAML:

    <HyperlinkButton x:Name="mailButton" NavigateUri="mailto:somedude@example.com" TargetName="_blank"></HyperlinkButton>

    In C#:

    HyperlinkButton hbtn = new HyperlinkButton();
hbtn.Name = "mailButton";
hbtn.TargetName = "_blank";
hbtn.NavigateUri = new Uri("mailto:somedude@example.com"); 
parent.Controls.Add(hbtn);

    In a situation in which you don’t know the email address at design time, it’s relatively straightforward to assign the value of the NavigateUri property within a method.
