Hi,

Now i am working with asp.net. I am doing a project, something like a search engine; a personalized search engine. So i have to display result in a datalist as an anchor text, a brief description, and URL. This anchor text is displayed in a linkbutton. When clicking the anchor text, i have to go to the corresponding web page. For that, i need to get the text of that linkbutton. How can i get that text??

Please do reply...

Thanks in advance for any advice....

I am displaying the url in the linkbutton. I need that url to go to that particular web page. I meant that by text.
