Example

HTMLAnchor
Declare two HtmlAnchor controls in an .aspx file (remember to embed the control inside an HtmlForm control). Then modify the URL, target, and title of the HtmlAnchor controls in an event handler (an event handler is a subroutine that executes code for a given event). The Page_Load event is one of many events that ASP .NET understands.
