Build Hyperlinks into Your Client App with the Windows Forms LinkLabel Control


LinkLabels are Windows Forms controls that enable a user to hyperlink to a URL that points to either the Web or the local directory system. While the SDK documentation discusses the control, it does not demonstrate how linking is accomplished, nor does it outline the power and flexibility the control provides. This article fills those gaps, showing how to link using the LinkLabel control. It also shows the flexibility of this control for the programmer using the .NET Framework. In addition, the author covers the large number of properties that allow you to customize your controls and accurately place them. Their built-in behaviors are also discussed, along with their use in both Visual Basic .NET and C#.

At the center of most Visual Basic Windows applications stands the form designer. You create a user interface by dragging and dropping controls from a toolbox to your form, placing them where you want them to be when you run the program, and then double-clicking the control to add handlers for the control. The controls provided out of the box by Microsoft along with custom controls that can be bought at reasonable prices, have supplied programmers with an unprecedented pool of reusable, thoroughly tested code that is no further away than a click with the mouse.
