asp.net ahref tag

What is the web control used in asp.net for a link?

A form web control in an ASP.Net page uses the following:

<asp:textbox ID="username" MaxLength="50" runat="server"
TextMode="SingleLine" class="tbyellow" />

I can then add the code behind logic in my class file to do what I need for
the form web control object.

For a link, the tag is:

<a href="somefile.aspx">Click Here</a>

What is the control for this tag in ASP.Net, so I can use code behind logic?
Is it the same? Or, do I just add:
<asp:a href="somefile.aspx">Click Here</a>

I'm not sure how I handle links in an ASP.Net file?

Thanks,

The easiest is probably to just put an asp:label on the page and add the
link as a string to that.

Hi,
it would be
<asp:Hyperlink id="Something" runat="server"></asp:hyperlink>

Then in your code behind you can set the properties you need, NavigateUrl
(the page you want to go to), Text (the text to display) etc

Thnaks for the information. I appreciate the help.

Would it be better or is it more common to not use the text for the link in
the page...i.e.

<asp:Hyperlink id="Something" runat="server">Click Here</asp:hyperlink>

But rather, set the text for the link in the code behind...i.e. Text (the
text to display)

Thanks again for your help!

If you need to manipulate the text on the fly, then stick it in the
codebehind. If not, just stick it on the aspx page as a plain-old anchor
tag.

In most cases you'd want to generate the link text dynamically - in which
case you'd set it in code behind. If you want static text
<asp:Hyperlink id="Something" runat="server">Click Here</asp:hyperlink>
would be perfectly OK
