Using the <i class="emphasis">HyperLink</i> Class

Using the HyperLink Class

You use the HyperLink class to create hyperlinks in Web applications. Here is the inheritance hierarchy of this class:

Object
   Control
      WebControl
         HyperLink

You can find the notable public properties of HyperLink objects in Table 17.6. (This class has no non-inherited methods or events.) Note that as with other Web server controls, I am not listing the notable properties, methods, and events this class inherits from the Control and WebControl classes—you can find them in Chapter 15, Tables 15.1 to 15.5.
