ASP.NET Web Forms HyperLink

It is a control that is used to create a hyperlink. It responds to a click event. We can use it to refer any web page on the server.

To create HyperLink either we can write code or use the drag and drop facility of visual studio IDE. This control is listed in the toolbox.
