Welcome to Merauderweb

pwned like a n00b tbh

After a while of playing about on and off with ASP.NET, I was making some minor updates to my Sandbox application the other night, when I stuck a slight wall - I wanted to create a text link which would run some code on the current page, but had no idea how to do it. Yes I could do it using a button, but I had no idea how to do it using just text. All my hyperlinks linked to other pages, and there were no immediate controls to do what I wanted.

I remember times like this working with Domino - but they were quite a long time back. There's nothing more humbling than the feeling of being pwned like a n00b.

...and if you're interested, the functionality I was after is right on the main Web Form controls toolbar - called a 'Link Button'...

Yeah I found 'link buttons' too, sort of over looked them at first cause I thought I don't want a button.. I had to embed one in a DataList to make my Menu :-) I even created the whole thing as a UserControll (.ascx) so I can use it on lots of pages...
