asp.net user control, getting htmlAnchor resolve to href=“#”

Question

How do you get a server control HTMLAnchor to have href=\"#\". It keeps resolving the \"#\" to the control path.

res         


        

Answer 1

I had a similar issue when rendering the page with PageParser.GetCompiledPageInstance() or when the url was rewritten. For some reason the HtmlAnchor always resolved incorrectly (similar to what you have above).

Ended up just using a HtmlGenericControl, since you are manipulating it server-side anyway this may be a possibility for you.

HtmlGenericControl anchor = new HtmlGenericControl("a");
anchor.Attributes.Add("href", "#");
