asp.net hyperlnk control

Is it possible to call a class's static property to set the navigateurl property?

<asp:HyperLink ID="hlRegister" NavigateUrl="<%= SomeClass.Property %>"  runat="server" />

without using codebehind ofcourse!

You can do this, but to avoid a syntax error you must modify your example to be as follows.

    <asp:HyperLink ID="hlRegister" 
        NavigateUrl='<%= SomeClass.Property %>'  runat="server" />

Notice the small difference of using single quotes rather than double around the script.

However, one might really ask why not just do it in the codebehind.

You don't need code behind. You can just try it, like i just did. I created a simple page with exactly the code you have, and then created a class called SomeClass with a property named Property. It worked fine for me the way that you have it set up above.

Edit: Ok, it didn't compile with an error.. but It's giving me not the result I'm looking for.

http://localhost:3061/Sample/%3C%=%20SomeClass.Property.ToString()%20%%3E

using:

public static class SomeClass
{
    public static string Property
    {
        get { return "http://www.google.com"; }
    }
}

and

<asp:HyperLink ID="hlRegister" NavigateUrl='<%= SomeClass.Property.ToString() %>' Text="Goooooogle" runat="server" />

sure, in the code behind:

hl.NavigateUrl = Class.Static().ToString();
