How to get any asp:LinkButton to look like a button

Question

I want a hyperlink that looks like a standard button. I have tried using a LinkButton but can't get it to look like a button. It always seems to stay looking like a hyperlink. I don't want to set an image to do this.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Use css for this... like

<asp:LinkButton ID="LnkButtion" CssClass="buttonClass" runat="server" Text="Button" />

Here you can specify your own colors

.buttonClass
{
    padding: 2px 20px;
    text-decoration: none;
    border: solid 1px Green;
    background-color: #ababab;
}
.buttonClass:hover
{
    border: solid 1px Black;
    background-color: #ffffff;
}

Answer 2

you can do it through css.

<asp:LinkButton ID="linkButton" CSSClass="btn" runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>

also define the following class in your css.

.btn{ text-decoration:none; border:1px solid #000; }

Answer 3

<asp:Button OnClick="submit" Text="Submit" runat="server" />

Answer 4

This worked for me:

<a href="mypage.aspx?param1=1" style="text-decoration:none;">
    <asp:Button PostBackUrl="mypage.aspx?param1=1" Text="my button-like link" runat="server" />
</a>

style="text-decoration:none;" is used to remove underling: Removing underline with href attribute
