Pass a variable to hyperlink in code behind using visual basic.net

When you click the link does it respond in some way or do nothing?

What does the HTML look like?

If the target page is "info.aspx"
And the target on the page is coded as

<div name="UsefulTips">... something... </div>

Select allOpen in new window

Then the hyperlink should look like:

<a href="info.aspx#UsefulTips>link here</a>

Select allOpen in new window

Your questions seems to include two ways of how you created the link, but none of the how you created the section on the page that you are linking to.  Maybe I'm just misreading it though.

Another guess...
You gave "name" to the link and not to the section?

dtCell.Text = <li><a href="Info.aspx#UsefulTips">UsefulTips</a></li>

Select allOpen in new window

should be

dtCell.Text = <li><a name="UsefulTips">UsefulTips</a></li>

Select allOpen in new window

and

link.Attributes.Add("name",UsefulTips )
link.Attributes.Add("href", "javascript:void(0)")

Select allOpen in new window

should be

link.Attributes.Add("href", "#UsefulTips")

Select allOpen in new window

Another guess...

Guessing is not the best approach.  It just clogs up the thread and causes confusion. Ithink the user will post back with some additional information so we can get to a solution.  A little patience is a good thing some times.

I will divide my question into 2 parts.
1.   dttable = GetDataFromDb()
                    Dim dv As dataview
                     dv = New DataView(dttable)
                    Dim UsefulTips As String  
                    UsefulTips = dv(0)("Information").ToString
                    dtRow = New TableRow()
                    dtCell = New TableCell()
                    dtCell.Text = <li><a href="Info.aspx">UsefulTips</a></li>
                    dtRow.Cells.Add(dtCell)
                    dttable1.Rows.Add(dtRow)

How to add the variable as the link text. UsefulTips is a variable got it from data table.For me now it is showing just the UsefulTips. Not showing value stored in Usefultips.



2.When we click the link it will go to the UsefulTips section in the same page.
                      dttable = GetDataFromDb()
                    Dim dv As dataview
                     dv = New DataView(dttable)
                    Dim UsefulTips As String  
                    UsefulTips = dv(0)("Information").ToString
                    dtRow = New TableRow()
                    dtCell = New TableCell()
                    dtCell.Text = <li><a href="Info.aspx#UsefulTips">UsefulTips</a></li>
                    dtRow.Cells.Add(dtCell)
                    dttable1.Rows.Add(dtRow)

The section link is created as follows

                          dtRow = New TableRow()
                    dtCell = New TableCell()
                    link = New HyperLink()
                    UsefulTips = dv(0)("Information").ToString
                    link.Attributes.Add("name",UsefulTips )
                    link.Attributes.Add("href", "javascript:void(0)")
                    dtCell.Controls.Add(link)
                    dtRow.Cells.Add(dtCell)
                    dtTalbe2.Rows.Add(dtRow)

I hope it will clear idea about what I asked.
 The page is Info.aspx
The page has hyperlink.The Hyperlink text will be value stored in the  UsefulTips string variable.
when we click on that it should take us to Hyperlink Section on the same Page.
 
Please let me know if you hav any questions.

Thanks.        


                 

1st part worked.

How to add variable to name tag

               dtRow = New TableRow()
                    dtCell = New TableCell()
                    link = New HyperLink()
                    UsefulTips = dv(0)("Information").ToString
                    link.Attributes.Add("name",UsefulTips )
                    link.Attributes.Add("href", "javascript:void(0)")
                    dtCell.Controls.Add(link)
                    dtRow.Cells.Add(dtCell)
                    dtTalbe2.Rows.Add(dtRow)

This is the line I want to make it work.
link.Attributes.Add("name",UsefulTips)
Here UsefulTips is a string  variable.I want to assign the value stored in UsefulTips variable to name
How to assign it.

Thanks

Did you try changing

 link.Attributes.Add("name",UsefulTips )

to

 link.Nname = UsefulTips

I tried it but it is giving me error.
Nname is not a member of System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink

Please let me know how to set the name with Variable value.
Thanks

Sorry it was supposed to be

 link.Name = UsefulTips

1. I tried it.But is giving the same error.
      'Name' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink'.

This link is destination anchor for another link.

2.I want to set another link as source anchor
                      UsefulTips = dv(0)("Information").ToString
                     dtRow = New TableRow()
                    dtCell = New TableCell()
                    'dtCell.Text = "<li><a href=#UsefulTips>" & strProductDesc & "</a></li>"
                    'dtRow.Cells.Add(dtCell)
                    'dtTalbe3.Rows.Add(dtRow)
                    link = New HyperLink()
                    link.Text = UsefulTips
                    link.Attributes.Add("href", #UsefulTips)      

When we click the link on the second part it will go to the link on the first part.
Both links are in same page.
1st part link need to pass variable value as name.
2nd part link need to pass variable value as Href.

Please let me know how to make it work.
Thanks

I set the link ID property with variable value.This is the destination anchor for another link.
When we click on another it will come to the ID property link.

2.I want to set another link as source anchor
                      UsefulTips = dv(0)("Information").ToString
                     dtRow = New TableRow()
                    dtCell = New TableCell()
                    'dtCell.Text = "<li><a href=#UsefulTips>" & strProductDesc & "</a></li>"
                    'dtRow.Cells.Add(dtCell)
                    'dtTalbe3.Rows.Add(dtRow)
                    link = New HyperLink()
                    link.Text = UsefulTips
                    link.Attributes.Add("href", #UsefulTips)      

How to set the Href as variable value.
When I click the 2nd part link it will go to the ID propert link.

Thanks
