Example
- HTMLAnchor
- In this example, we declared two HtmlAnchor controls in the .aspx file (remember to nest this control within the HtmlForm control). Then we modify the URL, target, and title of this HtmlAnchor control in the event handler. The Page_Load event is one of the many events understood by ASP.NET.
