Adding Link To A Label Asp.net (vb)

I have a label and I want to add to it a link. I want to use javascript like : MyLabel.Attributes.Add('`onclick`', 'javascript:`SOME_CODE`') What must I add in (SOME_CODE) to redi

Solution 1:

Have you tried: window.location = 'http://google.com' ? Are the any particular reason you want to use Javascript for this, and not just the HyperLink Control?

Update:

You can either use a normal a-tag <a href="http://google.com">link</a> or use the ASP.Net HyperLink control:

This is the markup:

<asp:HyperLinkID="MyHyperLinkControl"NavigateUrl="http://google.com"runat="server" />

This is if you want to add it from the code-behind:

HyperLink link = new HyperLink();
link.NavigateUrl = "http://google.com";

parentControl.Controls.Add(link);

Where parentControl, is the container you want to add it to, for instance a cell in a table or a panel.

See here for more information on how to add a control to a panel

Solution 2:

Just use a plain anchor tag (<a >), but put the label inside the anchor (the reverse is not strictly valid html). If you don't want it to show up as a link every time, you can accomplish that by omitting the href attribute. This is easy to do with a normal <asp:HyperLink> server control like so:

<asp:HyperLinkid="..."runat="server"><asp:Label... ></asp:Label></asp:HyperLink>

Now, the href attribute will only render if you actually set the NavigateUrl property in your code. You might also find that using an <asp:HyperLink> completely replaces the need for the label.

Solution 3:

<ahref="http://google.com" >Go to Google</a>

Solution 4:

If this has anything to do with your previous question, use a Hyperlink control instead of a Label:

Dim Hyperlink1 AsNew Hyperlink
    Hyperlink1.Text = "XYZ"
    Hyperlink1.NavigateUrl = "http://www.google.com"Dim Literal1 AsNew Literal
    Literal1.Text = "<br />"' Add the control to the placeholder
    PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(Hyperlink1)
    PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(Literal1)
