Setting the Content, Uri and the Target

The most common properties for utilizing the control are its NavigateUri and Content properties. The former one is intended to be used for navigating to the needed Uri when RadHyperlinkButton is clicked. The latter one sets the content that will be visualized by the control. Also, the location at which the link to be opened can be set through the TargetName string property.

Example 1: Setting the NavigateUri and Content

<telerik:RadHyperlinkButton NavigateUri="http://www.progress.com" Content="Hyperlink Button" TargetName="_blank"/>

The default Foreground for the control when the link is visited can be altered via the VisitedForeground property. Also, RadHyperlinkButton provides information whether the link is visited or not through its IsVisited boolean property.
