Using VS 2017. ASP.NET / VB.NET Web forms app.
I currently have SVG code in my ASP that will hide/show a hyperlink based on conditions in the VB code-behind. The code behind also builds and provides the URL for the link. This code works:
<svg viewBox="0, 0, 1200, 153" preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet" style="position: absolute" >
<%-- Various SVG code for Cirles, Lines, and Text --%>
<%-- NOTE: in order to reference in code behind to set visible=false, you must have 'runat="server"' on <a> tag. --%>
<%-- Code behind will supply the URL and hide show link based on criteria. --%>
<a id="lnkDoc" href="." target="_blank" runat="server">
<text x="738" y="150" text-anchor="start" font-size="11" font-family="sans-serif" text-decoration="underline" fill="#3f48cc" cursor="pointer">
View doc
</text>
</a>
</svg>
Now I no longer can use a hyperlink. I now need a link button or something that will fire event code in the code-behind based on an on-click event.
I have tried adding an "onclick="DocEvent_Click" to the <text> tag above and that did not work. I then replaced the <a> tag above with this code:
<a id="lnkDoc" href="." target="_blank" runat="server" visibility="visible">
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnDoc" runat="server" x="1055" y="150" Font-Underline="True" OnClick="DocEvent_Click" >View doc</asp:LinkButton>
</a>
It also did not work. It does not even show the "View doc" text.
What is the easiest way I can add Text inside of the SVG tags that will fire an event in the VB code-behind when clicked?
(NOTE: I also need to be able to show / hide the text based on a condition in the code- behind.)
Thanks
