Hyperlink column

Question

I'm using two textboxes. One textbox that saves the link to my hyperlink column: http://... and one textbox that saves the description. But i can't get it to work. I've tried

            new SPFieldUrlValue(item["Links"].ToString()).Url = TextBoxAddLink.Text;
            new SPFieldUrlValue(item["Links"].ToString()).Description = TextBoxLinkDesc.Text;

Answer 1

You are making two SPFieldUrlValue objects, for one you are setting Url and for other you are setting Description... Instead use below code:

  SPFieldUrlValue urlValue = new SPFieldUrlValue();
  urlValue.Url = TextBoxAddLink.Text.Trim();
  urlValue.Description = TextBoxLinkDesc.Text.Trim();

  spListItemObject["UrlField"] = urlValue;

This will make a single SPFieldUrlValue object and set both Url and Description properties for a single object, I hope this helps

Answer 2

Try this:

SPFieldUrlValue value = new SPFieldUrlValue();
value.Description = TextBoxLinkDesc.Text;
value.Url = TextBoxAddLink.Text;
item["Links"] = value;
