I want to retrieve the Url and the Description of a Hyperlink column in SP 2010 for data processing.

In the current scenario the field holds a link to an employee website as the URL and the name of the employee as the Description.

My only idea at this time is to use the following regex

^(?<URL>(https?://[\w@][\w.:@]+)\/?[\w\.?=%&=\-@/$,]*),\W(?<Description>.*)

So for a value like http://spd2010/firstname.lastname, Firstname Lastname

I get URL http://spd2010/firstname.lastname1 and Description Firstname Lastname

Is there any other way? It would be nice to know a best practice of some sort for this.

SPFieldUrlValue is the class you are looking for.

This class exposes both the Url and the Description
