Asp.net Hyperlink control equivalent to <a href="#"></a>

Question

I wanted to define a HyperLink control in asp.net that produces html output similar to the following:

<a href="#"></a> 

but can't figure out how. would be thankful if anyone could help.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I agree with SLaks, but here you go

   <asp:HyperLink id="hyperlink1"                    NavigateUrl="#"                   Text=""                   runat="server"/>  

or you can alter the href using

hyperlink1.NavigateUrl = "#";  hyperlink1.Text = string.empty; 

Answer 2

Just write <a href="#"></a>.

If that's what you want, you don't need a server-side control.
