HyperLink text not rendered after controls are added

I have a HyperLink control with text in its Text property.

With the following code:

var link = new HyperLink();
var img = new HtmlGenericControl("img");
img.Attributes.Add("src", "text.png");
link.Text = "Test";
link.Controls.Add(img);

When I do this, the image is rendered inside a a tag, but the text is not rendred. Is there a way to render both the image and the text inside the Text property without throwing a third control in to the mix?

I feel this should work out for you.

var link = new HyperLink();
var img = new HtmlGenericControl("img");
var lbl = new Label();
img.Attributes.Add("src", "text.png");
lbl.Text = "Test";
link.Controls.Add(img);
link.Controls.Add(lbl);
this.Controls.Add(link);

When you put any controls into the WebControl.Controls collection, it will ignore what you have inside Text. So if you want to render both text and other child controls, you should add the text into Controls:

var link = new HyperLink();
var img = new HtmlGenericControl("img");
img.Attributes.Add("src", "text.png");
link.Controls.Add(new Literal{ Text = "Test"});    // this line will add the text
link.Controls.Add(img);

According to the MSDN article "The HyperLink control can be displayed as text or an image." So the answer is no, I'm afraid.
