adding Hyperlink in win app

Question

I'm looking for a way to use hyperlinks in a winforms environment.

I found that it uses System.Web.UI.WebControls; but when i tried to use it in my program System.Web was as far as it would go. So I checked the refrences but also no System.Web.UI.WebControls or something like that, any sugestions?

Answer 1

You can use LinkLabel control. Set text property of LinkLabel to show your web link. You can use "LinkClicked" event to open the web browser as shown below. Hope this helps you.

     private void linkLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(linkLabel1.Text);
    }

If your're developing a WinForms application you have to use System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel control, located in System.Windows.Forms assembly. Controls in System.Web.* are for HTML pages.
