Hi All

I want to know about the difference between link button and hyperlink button. How much Both are same and where should be used.

I'm not positive I have this correct, so somebody please do correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a linkbutton direct the user to a link within the site and a hyperlink button direct them to another site? Although I belive if you use the
<a href="http://www.yoursiteher e/"> in your HTML you can do either...

HTH,

Hi Kuldeep,
To the Web page visitor, a HyperLink control and a LinkButton control look identical. However, there is a significant difference in functionality.

The HyperLink control immediately navigates to the target URL when the user clicks on the control. The form is not posted to the server.

The LinkButton control first posts the form to the server, then navigates to the URL. If you need to do any server-side processing before going to the target URL, use a LinkButton.

On the other hand, if there is no server-side processing necessary, don't waste a round trip and use the HyperLink control.
