Using the ImageUrl property of the HyperLink controlproperty to display them as an image. This generates something like the following: <a><img/></a> I would like to specify the height and width of the image, but if I use the HyperLink's Height and Width properties, something like the following is generated: <a style="display:inline-block;height:100px;width:100px;"><img/></a> My basic problem here is that there is no way to add style to the image. Yes, I know that I could make the HyperLink and image separate controls or create a CSS class that uses a child selector. But we all know that it is good practice to set the width and height of images, so why did they give the HyperLink an ImageUrl property if you can't specify it's width and height? In my opinion, the HyperLink is very poorly designed when it comes to creating graphical hyperlinks. Its probably easier to just use the img itself i.e.

The ImageUrl is pretty useless if you want to
control the attributes of the image. But the control also provides you with the ability to add subcontrols. For example: Image img = new Image(); img.ImageUrl = "picture.jpg"; img.Width = new Unit(150, UnitType.Pixel); img.Height = new Unit(150, UnitType.Pixel); MyHyperLinkControl.Controls.Add(img); That would probably work pretty much the way you want, and you can access all attributes of the image. ///Patrik Show quoteHide quote On 29 Jan, 03:24, "Nathan Sokalski" <njsokal***@hotmail.com> wrote: > I have several HyperLink controls on my site in which I use the ImageUrl > property to display them as an image.

declaratively using only the HyperLink control. Please don't bother to tell me some other combination of tags/controls that will produce what I mentioned, because I know how to do it that way. Basically all I am saying in this post is that there are certain things that a control should give you access to, and in my opinion the HyperLink does not do that.

Don't they care that developers see stuff like this and think 'PHP please' or 'JSP whatever'. I get so frustrated by this kind of crap - they need to fire all the suits with their marketing garbage and hire a few more developers.
