public:
System::String ^ GetPostBackClientHyperlink(System::Web::UI::Control ^ control, System::String ^ argument);
public string GetPostBackClientHyperlink (System.Web.UI.Control control, string argument);
member this.GetPostBackClientHyperlink : System.Web.UI.Control * string -> string
Public Function GetPostBackClientHyperlink (control As Control, argument As String) As String
Parameters
- control
- Control
The server control to process the postback.
- argument
- String
The parameter passed to the server control.
Returns
A string representing a JavaScript call to the postback function that includes the target control's ID and event arguments.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates the use of the GetPostBackClientHyperlink method. The custom control, MyControl
, implements the IPostBackEventHandler interface. When the HTML anchor element on the page is clicked, the RaisePostBackEvent method of the custom control is invoked.

Remarks
Using the GetPostBackEventReference method requires the control that handles the postback to implement the IPostBackEventHandler interface. To implement the IPostBackEventHandler interface for a Page, use the @ Implements
directive.
