Strange problem...? 1

[andym0908]

I've just started using .NET (C#). I've got a simple horizontal text display, using the <asp:HyperLink> control, which is databound to a SQL Stored proc.

When I run it, the text displays, though only as normal text, not Hyperlink text. Also, more worryingly, when I View Source in the browser (IE 7), the actual code for the HyperLink code is showing up (ie. it shows <asp:HyperLink> instead of <a>). Why would it not render?!

The same as any other server control - if you need to manipulate it or any of it's properties from server-side code. Using HTML controls over ASP.NET controls (when possible) will help reduce ViewState and therefore help increase page performance.
