How to create a link to a website in vb code behind?

Anonymous User 2680 14 Apr 2015

It may be simple but the search words in Google give too many irrelevant results.

Protected Sub Menu1_MenuItemClick(sender As Object, e As MenuEventArgs) Handles Menu1.MenuItemClick

    If e.Item.Text = "SomeItem" Then

      'The link goes here

    End If

End Sub

vb.net vb script

Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the steps on how to create a link to website in vb code behind:

  1. Create a new Windows Forms project in VB.NET.
  2. Add a button control to the form.
  3. In the code behind file, add the following code:

VB.Net

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    ' Create a new Hyperlink object.
    Dim hyperlink As New Hyperlink

    ' Set the URL of the hyperlink.
    hyperlink.NavigateUrl = "https://www.google.com"

    ' Set the Text property of the hyperlink.
    hyperlink.Text = "Google"

    ' Add the hyperlink to the form.
    Controls.Add(hyperlink)
End Sub
  1. Run the project. When you click the button, the hyperlink will be created and the user will be redirected to the Google website.

Here is an explanation of the code:

  • The New keyword is used to create a new Hyperlink object.
  • The NavigateUrl property of the Hyperlink object is set to the URL of the website that you want to link to.
  • The Text property of the Hyperlink object is set to the text that you want to display for the hyperlink.
  • The Controls.Add method is used to add the hyperlink to the form.

Use Response.Redirect if you want to send the current page to a new url: 

Protected Sub Menu1_MenuItemClick(sender As Object, e As MenuEventArgs) Handles Menu1.MenuItemClick
    If e.Item.Text = "SomeItem" Then
        Response.Redirect("http://www.mindstick.com")
    End If
End Sub

To open a new url in a new window/tab you would have to use javascript. Normally I would recommend just putting the javascript directly onto the aspx page but in the event that the url will use data from the code behind to generate the url you can use the ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript function. 

Protected Sub Menu1_MenuItemClick(sender As Object, e As MenuEventArgs) Handles Menu1.MenuItemClick
    If e.Item.Text = "SomeItem" Then
        Dim sURL As String = "http://www.mindstick.com"
        ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "script", "window.open('" & sURL + "', 'popup_window');", True)
    End If
End Sub
