Syntax

[System.ComponentModel.Localizable(true)]
[System.Web.UI.PersistenceMode(System.Web.UI.PersistenceMode.InnerDefaultProperty)]
[System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue("")]
[System.ComponentModel.Bindable(true)]
public virtual string Text { set; get; }

Value

Text of the anchor.

Remarks

The System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink control can be displayed as text or an image. Use the HyperLink.Text property to specify the text to display for the System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink control.

If both the HyperLink.Text and HyperLink.ImageUrl properties are set, the HyperLink.ImageUrl property takes precedence. If the image is unavailable, the text in the HyperLink.Text property is displayed. In browsers that support ToolTip functionality, the HyperLink.Text property also becomes the ToolTip.

Note:

This control can be used to display user input, which might include malicious client script. Check any information that is sent from a client for executable script, SQL statements, or other code before displaying it in your application. ASP.NET provides an input request validation feature to block script and HTML in user input. Validation server controls are also provided to assess user input. For more information, see [<topic://cpconASPNETSyntaxForValidationControls>].

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see System.ComponentModel.LocalizableAttribute and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.
