How do I use an asp:Button or asp:LinkButton as asp:Hyperlink?
The existing Hyperlink just goes to another section on the same page: NavigateUrl="#Section2"
I want to do this in the aspx file without additional coding. Thanks.
The purpose is to have a button look instead of the underlined text BUT I don't want to use an image with hyperlink to achieve this purpose.

The plain HTML way is to put it in a <form> wherein you specify the desired target URL in the action attribute. If necessary, set CSS display: inline; on the form to keep it in the flow with the surrounding text. Instead of <input type="submit"> in above example, you can also use <button type="submit"> .
HTML buttons cannot have href attribute if they are created using button <button> </button> HTML tags. However, you can use href attribute if you create the buttons using link <a> </a> HTML tags.
To create a button link to another page in HTML,just add <a> tag and wrap it around the simple Html button. Inside a <a> tag simply use href=“” attribute to give the path of the desired page.
how to make a button or a page link to another page in HTML using the button. Just write/Declare your HTML Button inside HTML Anchor tags <a>. Anchor tags will make our HTML Buttons Clickable and after that, you can use Anchor tag's href attribute to give the Path to your Button.
You can use OnClientClick event to call a JavaScript function:
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" onclientclick='redirect()' />
JavaScript code:
function redirect() {
location.href = 'page.aspx';
}
But i think the best would be to style a hyperlink with css.
Example :
.button {
display: block;
height: 25px;
background: #f1f1f1;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #e1e1e2;
color: #000;
font-weight: bold;
}
There is a middle way. If you want a HTML control but you need to access it server side you can simply add the runat="server" attribute:
<a runat="server" Id="lnkBack">Back</a>
You can then alter the href server side using Attributes
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
lnkBack.Attributes.Add("href", url);
}
}
resulting in:
<a id="ctl00_ctl00_mainContentPlaceHolder_contentPlaceHolder_lnkBack"
href="url.aspx">Back</a>
