ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Name

LinkButton

Synopsis

This class represents a control that appears like a HyperLink control, but fires a Click and Command event like a Button control would. A good use of this control is to provide a hyperlink that navigates to another web page but allows you to perform some programmatic cleanup (for example, clearing session variables) before you redirect the user.

Like all button controls, the LinkButton class provides a CausesValidation property you can set to prevent page validation from occurring when the control is clicked. It also provides the standard CommandName and CommandArgument properties that allow you to specify additional information that will be sent to a Command event.
