Question

Trying to add a click event to a hyperlink, but couldn't find any way except people using this code of line with some javascript,

    HyperLink link = new HyperLink();
    //link.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return handleHyperLinkClick(this)");
    link.Click ??
    AddControl(link);
    AddControl(new LiteralControl(string.Format("</p>")));

Answer 1

Use LinkButton instead. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.linkbutton.click.aspx

Answer 2

Or simple use JQuery event binding on whatever link for the UnObtrusive way of doing it.
