Disable a HyperLink from code behind

Question

In my project I need to disable a hyperlink based on some condition. So how can I do this from code behind using C#?

Im assuming you mean a client-side anchor tag? If that's the case, you can't. You'll have to do it with javascript. (or make the anchor tag a server-side asp.net control) — RPM1984, Aug 05 '10 at 10:20

in your aspx, add runat="server" attribute to the tag:

<a id="myHyperLink" runat="server">...</a>

in Page_load method:

if( condition )
    myHyperLink.Enabled = false;

This didn't work for me. 'Enabled' isn't recognised server-side as a property of an tag. Had to use an control. Can't understand how it worked for anyone else. – DJDave Nov 13 '18 at 14:55
